Tale of the Tape | Notre Dame-Texas A&M

Timing can be everything.

And if Notre Dame ends up outside the Top 4 of the final College Football Playoff Rankings, timing will be the reason.

Put aside your thoughts on whether a team with a resumé a half-dozen games deep should even be considered because regardless of your arguments, the Committee has already made that decision.

Alabama will stay at #1, Clemson will go to #2 and Ohio State and its half-baked resumé will move up to #3.
