Thanks to a blowout win over Navy on Saturday night and a shake-up of the teams ahead of Notre Dame in the second College Football Playoffs rankings, the path through the playoffs has changed up a bit this week.
Last week, the Fighting Irish were the No. 10 seed and were slated to go through BYU before potentially taking on Indiana in the second round. This week, Notre Dame has jumped up one spot in the rankings, to No. 9, and that still has them going on the road in the first round, but it will be going farther west.
