24-Team College Football Playoff to Majorly Affect Notre Dame’s Scheduling

BYU stunned Notre Dame with a 28-24 victory, ending the Fighting Irish's 16-game winning streak. Bear Bachmeier scored three touchdowns to secure the win for the unbeaten Cougars, though the game triggered another clock controversy. Simultaneously, the implementation of a 24-Team College Football Playoff is set to majorly affect the scheduling for Notre Dame. This shift in the postseason format draws comparisons to the structure of March Madness within the landscape of college football.
