Notre Dame rises to CFP committee's challenge vs Miami. Did Fighting Irish lock in playoff?
Notre Dame took No. 1 Miami, jumped out to a big lead and withheld a furious second-half comeback. Did the Irish lock in their CFP spot?
Notre Dame secured a crucial win over Miami in the high-stakes rivalry matchup, further solidifying their path to the College Football Playoff (CFP). The Fighting Irish, who missed the 2025 CFP last season, are now positioned to be a lock for inclusion in the 12-team field. This victory marks their third win against a ranked opponent this season, surpassing their CFP resume from the previous year.
While the CFP committee has expressed its confidence in Notre Dame, the team still needs to maintain their winning form in their final three regular season games to avoid any potential setbacks.
