No. 8 Notre Dame won. No. 7 Tennessee and No. 6 BYU lost. Unless a two-loss Southeastern Conference team jumps the Irish — which seems unlikely, given how it’s treated two-loss SEC teams in the past two weeks — second-year head coach Marcus Freeman‘s team should be in line to host a first-round College Football Playoff game.

ACC teams will hit the field in six games on the Week 12 college football slate. That includes the Virginia Cavaliers squaring off against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Notre Dame Stadium.If

BYU is at No. 6, followed by Tennessee, Notre Dame, Miami, and Alabama. The final two teams inside the top-12 are Ole Miss and Georgia. Due to the rules including a Group of Five school, the Bulldogs wouldn’t make the playoff, Boise State would instead.
