The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have one last major hurdle to climb in their quest to reach the College Football Playoff as an at-large team.
Notre Dame visits the Pittsburgh Panthers in one of a few Top 25 matchups in Week 12.
A Notre Dame win would keep the Irish on a path to 10-2 and spot inside the top 10. A loss basically eliminates the Irish from playoff contention.
Pitt is one of a handful teams vying to reach the ACC Championship Game. Saturday’s game won’t matter for conference record, but if the Panthers win, they will get a boost in the CFB Playoff rankings ahead of their final few ACC games.
The Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners face potential playoff elimination games down in the SEC.
Texas is on the road against the Georgia Bulldogs, while Oklahoma visits the Alabama Crimson Tide.
