One top-25 matchup next weekend....(11) Notre Dame at (22)Temple on ABC at 8.

If UNC cracks the top 25, it would be 2 matchups. They play at Pitt on Thursday.

Georgia Tech and USC both helping ND out with their wins tonight.

Still a long shot for the playoffs, but with the craziness of the FBS this year, ND is still very much alive.

ND is still alive because they could essentially have a loss to an unbeaten team and end up with a comparable win (Stanford) of the other contenders. Fair or not, the name "Notre Dame" won't hurt them.

I'll give you USC, but don't kid yourself about GT.

With the win tonight they have moved to 3-5.

A field goal is a punt that can score.

Doesn't matter what GT's record is. They took out FSU who was ahead of ND. So Georgia Tech helped ND with their win last night.

I believe it has to do with whether it was blocked in front of (dead) or behind (live) the LOS.

Gotcha, I thought you were talking about quality wins for the resume.

My bad. I didn't clarify. I don't think ND has any quality wins at this point. So the only way I see them getting in is with the teams ahead of them losing and dropping out.

It will be tough for them, but strange things have happened in November before. I see a Big 10 champ, Big 12 champ, SEC champ, and Clemson getting in before them. I think they would need 2 losses from one of the previous 4 groups listed.

I'll be interested to see the first set of rankings from the playoff committee. That will give a much better idea of who ahead of ND will have to lose to open up the door for them.

But there are also undefeated teams behind them who would pass them at some point

I don't think that's necessarily true. Oklahoma State would if they stayed undefeated because they'd have wins over TCU, Baylor, and Oklahoma. I don't think there's any way they beat all three of those teams. Iowa might stay undefeated and I guess could possibly jump ND. But I think they get crushed in the B1G championship game against either OSU or Sparty so it wouldn't matter. Outside of those two, I don't think Houston, Memphis, or Toledo would jump Notre Dame.

Baylor is terrible anyway. I hope they make the playoffs and Ohio State gets them in the first round.

LOL. He was in for 1 possession, threw 1 pass (for a TD), hot garbage?

It's a live ball until the kicking team secures it or it comes to a stop with no one attempting to secure it.

Maybe I'm misreading this, but how is that different from a punt?
