Sure, put Notre Dame in the playoff, but what business do the Irish have hosting a first-round game? It's seems the committee has been bamboozled.

The Irish started off as the committees No. 10 team, then moved up to No. 8 in the second set of rankings. Notre Dame once again was the benefactor of teams around them taking another loss, and now sit at No. 6 in the third set, but No. 8 in the bracket.

Brian Kelly won both matchups with Army, defeating the Black Knights in his first season at Notre Dame (also in Yankee Stadium) and picking up the final victory of the disastrous 2016 season over Army in San Antonio.
