The Notre Dame Fighting Irish entered the penultimate reveal in the College Football Playoff bracket, but officials decided to keep them out altogether at the end.
Notre Dame ended the regular season with a 10-2 record and ranked No. 10 in the penultimate College Football Playoff rankings going into conference championship weekend.
The Fighting Irish didn’t play over the weekend as the football program is not a part of any conference. Notre Dame was in the field over BYU and Miami with college football fans clamoring for the Hurricanes to get into the field given their win over the Fighting Irish in the regular season.
On Sunday, the College Football Playoff Committee chose to keep the Fighting Irish out of the field.
