I believe that each week we will compile the anticipated brackets to provide us with a guideline. These are hardly true projections; they mainly mirror the current rankings since there’s no genuine forecasting of the final bracket, which is what truly matters.
Notre Dame has moved up to the 9 seed and will face Tennessee. With three weeks remaining in the regular season, there’s still a lot of football to be played, and the Irish remain in contention for a first-round home game, though it will be an intriguing situation.
