Here is the best case scenario for Notre Dame Today
Texas Tech Wins a "close " game with BYU. Because BYU plays in Big 12 championship Game the CFP committee does not punish BYU and keeps them @ 11. Don't want BYU blown out.
Alabama loses to Georgia and drops to 10. Prefer by 10 or more but we know committee wants to keep Alabama in because they moved them ahead of Notre Dame on Tuesday.
That would mean Notre Dame moves to 9, Alabama to 10, and keeping BYU at 11 would prevent the H2H with Miami to "kick in".
So called experts don't want to diminish championship games so this way not punishing BYU and Alabama by making their championships works out.
