Great win for NotreDame tonight. I was just wondering about something. NotreDame is currently ranked number 7 in the polls. Lets say after the Usc game the current top 6 teams all have 1 loss and NotreDame is 12 and 0 and I sure would love it if it turned out this way. My question is would the committee during the season keep NotreDame at number 5 since they can’t get a top 4 ranking for the playoffs or could they end up 1,2,3 or 4 and then at the final selection day drop them to 5?
