Notre Dame ranked No. 15 in first College Football Playoff rankings

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - Notre Dame’s quest to become the first-ever team with two losses to reach the College Football Playoff isn’t looking too great after the first CFP rankings were released Tuesday night.
The Fighting Irish are currently ranked No. 15, which is three spots below their ranking in the latest AP Top 25 Poll.
The committee has until early December to decide which four teams will play for a national title, but the Irish only have three games left on their schedule — meaning they have less time and less opportunities to play themselves back into playoff contention.
Notre Dame is 1-2 on the season against other CFP ranked teams. Their lone win was against USC while their losses were against Ohio State and Louisville.
Here’s a look at the full rankings:
- Ohio State (8-0)
