CFP chair Warde Manuel was asked about Penn State and Notre Dame's resumes.
Penn State head coach James Franklin congratulates wide receiver Omari Evans after his touchdown catch during the second quarter on Nov. 23, 2024 Joe Hermitt | [email protected] thought Notre Dame could — or perhaps should — jump Penn State in the latest edition of the College Football Playoff selection committee rankings. That didn’t happen.
Notre Dame’s only defeat was a shocking home loss to Northern Illinois back in September. Since then, Marcus Freeman’s team has rolled to nine straight wins. All nine wins have come by double digits, and seven of them were by 20 points or more. The Fighting Irish have wins over four teams ranked at the time of playing: Texas A&M, Louisville, Navy and Army.
To shed light on the Penn State-Notre Dame debate, CFP chair Warde Manuel was asked during his post-rankings media teleconference about the two teams’ resumes. Based on current rankings, both teams are projected to host first-round playoff games. Penn State is the projected No. 6 seed while Notre Dame is the projected No. 7 seed.
