Notre Dame's Playoff Path Unfolds | Texas Longhorns Football News

Notre Dame’s 52-0 rout of Rice sets the tone, but the real battle begins with a brutal schedule ahead. Texas stunned Ohio State 24-23, vaulting to No. 1 and shaking up the playoff race — while Notre Dame still needs other top teams to stumble. Miami’s ACC title win could be the key to Notre Dame’s playoff hopes, even without a direct matchup. To secure the top seed, they must go undefeated and hope Big Ten or SEC champs with one loss don’t leapfrog them. Their run game’s consistency against elite defenses remains a question mark — and facing teams like Georgia or Indiana could be the ultimate test. The season is young, but the pressure is mounting.
