Notre Dame, from 2026, will be guaranteed a CFP spot with a top 12 ranking.

Regardless of record, I think the voters should keep ND at 13 all year.

If I were a voter, I wouldn't even have them ranked at all.

ND schedule next year has three road games, three neutral site games and 6 home games, and the opponents are (but for like 3) a total joke.

They will start the season ranked in the top 10 so with this garbage schedule they will most assuredly be in the playoff.

Yeah, their two somewhat respectable opponents (Miami and SMU) they get to play at home. And of course their game at Lambeau Field vs. Wisconsin is when the weather is still mild.

I would too but their schedule will make that virtually impossible.

I know…but wouldn’t it be fun to see them in the
“Also w/votes” category at the bottom of the rankings every week…not completely out because there are too many of them (goldendomers) not to have some votes no matter what…but to have to read their name every week out of it…
