At 13-0, the Hoosiers are the last unbeaten team in major college football after beating Ohio State in a thriller for their first outright championship since 1945. By beating the Buckeyes, Indiana ended the nation’s longest active winning streak at 16 and the Big Ten’s longest winning streak in a series between two teams.

FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt explained why he listed the Notre Dame Fighting Irish ahead of the Oklahoma Sooners in his rankings.

The corrupted College Football Playoff selection committee left Notre Dame out of the playoff in favor of hot-mess Alabama, and it was all about money and corporate politics.

Notre Dame received a shock from the CFP committee. Miami climbed two spots to No. 10 — and that pushed the Irish to No. 11 and out of the 12-team field.

The University of Notre Dame football team has decided to not participate in a bowl game after being left out of the College Football Playoff.

The 12-team College Football Playoff bracket is officially set, with Indiana, Ohio State, Georgia and Texas Tech receiving first-round byes while Alabama became the first 3-loss team to make the field.
