With Notre Dame currently sitting one spot away from hosting a College Football Playoff game -- I took a look at what we would need to see happen to ensure the Fighting Irish move up a spot over the next four weeks:
#9 Notre Dame must win all three of its games -- beat #22 Pitt and roll over Syracuse and Stanford.
#8 Oregon has this left -- lose one of these games and I believe Notre Dame jumps them:
- Minnesota
- #17 USC
- @ Washington
#7 Ole Miss has this left -- lose one of these games and I believe Notre Dame jumps them:
- Florida
- @ Mississippi State
#6 Texas Tech has this left -- lose one of these games and I believe Notre Dame jumps them:
- UCF
- @ West Virginia
#5 Georgia has this left -- lose one of these game and Notre Dame might jump them:
- #10 Texas
- Charlotte
- #16 Georgia Tech
