Experts have weighed in on where the Texas Longhorns and Notre Dame Fighting Irish might land in the upcoming College Football Playoff rankings. Projections vary, but both programs remain in contention for a spot in the expanded playoff field.
The latest rankings are expected to be released later this week. Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman was seen conferring with officials during the team's game against the Navy Midshipmen on October 31, 2026, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
