Now, the Fighting Irish have wins against Clemson and North Carolina and seem to be close to securing a spot in the ACC Championship Game.
ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit was on the broadcast for the game, and on Saturday morning’s College GameDay, he said he would have the Irish as the top team in the next Playoff rankings:

Kirk Herbstreit on @CollegeGameDay just now:
