No. 8 (CFP) Notre Dame got by Virginia last week and moved up one spot in the College Football Playoff rankings that were released Tuesday night. Although they still need a good amount of help to truly contend for a CFP spot, there is certainly a path to get there for the Irish.
That path isn’t the likeliest of things to play out however, at least according to those who project the college football postseason. Here are the latest national bowl projections for Notre Dame from a variety of different college football media outlets:
