With potential College Football Playoff teams Oregon and Penn State losing over the weekend some folks at Alabama, Baylor and Oklahoma got excited about their potential chances for making the playoff.
So what does it mean for Notre Dame? Are the chances of getting to a New Years Six Bowl different after last week? Here’s what the experts have happening for Notre Dame after the conclusion of week 13.
The eight sources we get them from don’t all have them posted yet but here’s what we have as of early Sunday evening:
Camping World Bowl vs. Texas
Camping World Bowl vs. Texas
College Football News (Pete Fiutak):
Camping World Bowl vs. Oklahoma State
ESPN (Bonagura & Schlabach both):
Camping World Bowl vs. Oklahoma State
Camping World Bowl vs. Kansas State
It wouldn’t appear what happened yesterday was good for Notre Dame’s chances at a New Year’s Six Bowl. The way things sit now it would appear they’re headed to Orlando for the former Blockbuster turned Carquest turned MicronPC turned Mazda turned Champ Sports turned Russell Athletic turned Camping World Bowl.
How does Notre Dame get to Dallas instead? Douglas Farmer from NBC Sports did a good job creating a path.
Let's talk #NotreDame's Cotton Bowl hopes …
If Utah beats Oregon, Alabama beats Auburn, Ohio State beats Michigan, Oklahoma beats Baylor, if two SECs make the Playoff, then the question is, do the Irish pass Penn State in the rankings?
If yes, Dallas should be beckoning.— Douglas Farmer (@D_Farmer) November 24, 2019
It’s possible no-doubt but with the CFP Committee making clear last week how much they value results against common opponents (something I hate) I have trouble seeing how Notre Dame gets past Penn State who won against Michigan compared to the Irish who got rolled in Ann Arbor.
