🏈 Is Notre Dame now out for the 2025 college football playoffs? The Domer are now 0-2 and there aren't any ranked teams (currently) on their schedule.

Arkansas is playing decent football. It's been my opinion since fall camps this was a loss for ND. Arkansas doesn't have a chance to break into the top 25. They weren't receiving any votes in either poll and ND is in Fayetteville in two weeks.

USC? I can see them breaking into the top 25. They have Illinois (top ten) and Michigan (top 25) left on their schedule before they face ND. Last week they were 29th/30th in the two polls. Notre Dame hosts the Trojans. If they can win there ND is 1-2 against ranked teams finishing 10-2 (if they run the table.)

Boise State? It's post Arkansas so it may not even matter. They aren't receiving any votes (as of last week) so it really may not matter.

• This morning, do they still have a shot? Maybe. Do they need a 9-3 team to make the playoffs?
• If they lose to Arkansas? Done, but with some laughs.
• If they just lose to USC? Again, done. But, with an "oh well."

I was reading something about Notre Dame after week one that was suggesting their QB was signaling plays. I dismissed it as a beat writer feeling bad.

Just came across this:

I realize that's not real (or at least a joke), but I'd rather have Clemson or Miami or FSU in the SEC than Notre Dame. Hell, I'd rather have Ohio State over Notre Dame. And I can't STAND OSU.

Notre Dame is still in some top 25 polls, so there's a chance they get in. I can't remember ever seeing an 0-2 team in the Top 25, but that's Notre Dame for you.

Hope so!

Let’s hope they are out of the national championship talk. I also hope they lose every game they play. Overrated every single year by pollsters. I hate nd.

That’s pretty good insight from a former tennis player! What does Andre Agassi say?

A backhand slap.

It's Notre Dame. The rest of their schedule is a cakewalk except USC and these losses are against two teams currently in the top 10 which will be conveniently forgotten by the Committee by then.

No they are not out. If you can play to a tie in 66 and win it even though there is an undefeated team that gave up only 37 points to 11 opponents…..or you can go from 5th to first in 77 over the number 2 team that destroyed the team ND lost to, you ain’t out. We are far removed from 66 and 77 but some things not going to change and this is one of them.

Keep this in mind with the Domers.

12 playoff spots.

They have a 1-7 chance of an invitation.

With their remaining schedule so weak I don't think they can lose another game and get in. At the moment analytics give Arky 47% chance to beat them and USC 51%.

 

[UAgrad93]

Saw a stat last night that said with the loss, they had like an 8% chance of still getting in the CFP.

 

[Scrape&Search1032]

If they win out, they're probably in it. But that's gonna be a tall task for them going forward.

 

[Krimson]

No chance
