College Football Playoff selection committee experts have offered projections for where the Texas Longhorns and Notre Dame Fighting Irish will land in the upcoming rankings, according to a report from the Austin American-Statesman.
The analysis comes as both programs navigate the 2026 season. Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman was seen conferring with officials during the team's game against the Navy Midshipmen on October 31 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
The official CFP rankings are expected to be released later this week, providing a clearer picture of the postseason landscape for the two prominent contenders.
