The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, ranked No. 6 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, did not play last week, but their standing in On3's mock College Football Playoff bracket took a hit. In the previous week's projection, the Irish were placed at No. 5; this week, they have tumbled to No. 11 and are now listed among the First Four Out.
Joining Notre Dame in the First Four Out are LSU, Tennessee, and Alabama. On3's top four seeds are Miami, Ohio State, Georgia, and Indiana.
Key Analysis
The projection's reliability is questionable, as it also includes teams like Northwestern, Kentucky, UCLA, Florida, and New Mexico. While some of these programs might contend, it seems unlikely that all of them will make the playoff. This raises doubts about the accuracy of On3's bracket.
