Notre Dame football has a chance to make history in Playoff era against BYU
The Irish are next up to be the nation's top team.
Notre Dame football enters the playoff era with a historic opportunity to claim the top spot in college football rankings, but a challenging road to victory awaits. The Fighting Irish currently sit at No. 2 in the rankings, trailing behind the Georgia Bulldogs. However, after Georgia's shocking 27-24 loss to unranked Auburn, the door has opened for Notre Dame to climb to the top position.
To achieve this, the Fighting Irish must secure a victory against highly ranked BYU on their home turf. While the task may seem daunting, the Irish only need to focus on their own performance. The Georgia collapse serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of a single game's outcome. Last week, the top-ranked team in the AP Top 25, Texas, also fell to an unranked opponent, Oklahoma, further solidifying the unpredictable nature of college football.
Now, Georgia must grapple with the repercussions of their loss, while Notre Dame prepares to seize the moment and assert its rightful place at the top of the college football rankings.
