Notre Dame Stay Put At #3 in New College Football Playoff Rankings

After a week where there weren’t many notable upsets throughout the world of college football, the latest College Football Playoff rankings were released on Tuesday evening.

The Irish now head to New York City for the latest game in the Shamrock Series against #12 Syracuse. That game is set for 2:30 Pm ET at Yankee Stadium on November 17th
