The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are in an interesting controversy: they're ranked among the College Football Playoff teams, but many feel another team might be more deserving of their spot amongst the 12 teams in the bracket.
After starting their season 0-2, the Irish went on an impressive 10-game winning streak, seemingly making a strong case for their entry. That included a 70-7 rout against Syracuse, before they defeated Stanford, 49-20, in the final game of their season.
However, they'll leave the selection decision to the CFP committee, as Notre Dame has no conference or championship to contend for. At the same time, other schools in the playoff discussion will participate in games this coming weekend.
