In South Bend, Indiana, the anticipation is building as the 2024 football season approaches for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Coming off a strong 2023 season where they finished with a record of 10-3, the team is aiming for a shot at the College Football Playoffs for the first time since 2020. In the latest College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings, Notre Dame has positioned itself solidly at No. 6, signaling strong potential for a postseason run.
The Fighting Irish had an impressive run last year, maintaining their place in the AP top 25 throughout the season. This consistency continued even after a disappointing loss to unranked Clemson in early November. However, Notre Dame bounced back brilliantly, dominating No. 19 Oregon State in the Sun Bowl with a convincing 40-8 victory, leaving a positive note to end the season.
In the final CFP rankings, Notre Dame settled at No. 14, which was just outside the coveted playoff spots. This year, with the new 12-team format for the College Football Playoffs, the Irish are hopeful they can break through to college football’s biggest stage. The 2024 season is set to be exciting as Notre Dame has laid out its full schedule, which includes crucial matchups, TV channels, and scores to keep fans updated.
As fans eagerly await the upcoming season, Notre Dame’s history of resilience and determination keeps hope alive. With the 2024 schedule now available, all eyes will be on the Fighting Irish to see if they can make their playoff dreams a reality.
