The 7-seed Fighting Irish (14-1) reached this stage of the season with impressive victories in their last three games. They defeated No. 10 Indiana 27-17 at home in the opening round of the College Football Playoff before downing No. 2 Georgia in the Sugar Bowl quarterfinal game in New Orleans. Notre Dame punched its ticket to the CFP championship with a 27-24 victory over No. 6 Penn State in the Orange Bowl semifinal.
