Notre Dame's Playoff Push | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

Notre Dame is poised for a historic run this season, sitting at No. 2 in preseason rankings with playoff odds of -700 after a dominant 10-2 campaign last year. They were robbed of a spot last time, losing out to Miami despite not playing that weekend—so they’re determined to make it right. Quarterback CJ Carr, grandson of legendary coach Lloyd Carr, is a Heisman frontrunner after a breakout sophomore season, now expected to shoulder heavy offensive duties with a revamped backfield. Defensively, they’re stacked with returning All-Americans and top prospects like cornerback Leonard Moore, making them a national powerhouse. Their biggest test? A brutal October 17 showdown at BYU. And with a new rule guaranteeing top-12 teams automatic playoff bids, Notre Dame’s path to the title just got clearer.
