The first College Football Playoff rankings of the season were released this week, but if you asked the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, they would seem like they couldn't care less. When Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr joined SportsCenter shortly after the rankings were released, he said he didn't even tune into the release show and had only heard just minutes before that the Fighting Irish were No. 10.
Carr said the team, in general, was not very locked in on the rankings and where they would land because these are simply just the first rankings. Notre Dame feels their focus needs to be on its next game, which is against a pesky 7-1 Navy team coming up this weekend.
