The College Football Playoff committee placed the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at No. 11 in its latest rankings, released on November 4, 2026.
The ranking comes after Notre Dame's game against the Navy Midshipmen on October 31, 2026, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. In that matchup, Notre Dame's Jack Larsen, wearing number 85, was photographed reacting during the contest.
The committee's decision reflects the team's performance through the first half of the 2026 season. Further rankings will be updated weekly as the playoff picture develops.
