Notre Dame and Miami are scheduled to face each other during the 2025 regular season, the first meeting between the schools since 2017.
But what if they meet each other sooner? Like in this year’s College Football Playoff?
Heather Dinich has unveiled her projections for the first year of the expanded playoff in a story available only to ESPN+ subscribers. She has the Irish as the seventh seed and hosting the Hurricanes at Notre Dame Stadium.
While it surely wouldn’t be as famous as the Catholics vs. Convicts game, both teams’ seasons would be on the line, so more definitely would be at stake here.
There have been several preseason projections for the playoff, but most of the ones we’ve seen so far have the Irish either going on the road or missing it altogether.
Introducing … BUBBLE WATCH! That’s right, bracketology for CFB! I will be doing this every week this season. Your inaugural preseason edition (which has never been wrong before) is out NOW! 🤓🤓 https://t.co/MVGTwotot0

Whatever anyone thinks though, it’s ultimately up to the Irish themselves to make their case. The talent is there, but they have to win the games they’re supposed to in order to be considered. They can do it.
