## Resource

Notre Dame’s College Football Playoff hopes just got a twist—no more home games after the regular season, but that might actually be a blessing in disguise. With Indiana’s championship run last year proving that playoff rest is a game-changer, the Irish could ride that same advantage. Bill Bender’s latest forecast has ND as the No. 3 seed, facing Oregon in the quarterfinals and Georgia in the semifinals—a familiar, high-stakes path. But here’s the kicker: Indiana’s predicted to win it all again, meaning Notre Dame would fall just short in the title game. Still, the potential for a deep run? Absolutely real.
