Following the fourth week of the college football calendar, the undefeated Fighting Irish squad sits at number three in both the Associated Press poll and the US LBM Coaches rankings. Meanwhile, analytical metrics from ESPN place the program at number two nationally, a jump of two positions from their previous standing.

This index score of 27.8 places the team level with Ohio State and just behind Georgia. Statistical models project an 11.1 and 0.9 win-loss outcome, alongside an eighty-four point eight percent likelihood of qualifying for the College Football Playoff.

The group also holds a twenty-four point seven percent probability of reaching the national title game and a thirteen point nine percent chance of capturing the championship trophy. Next on the schedule, the team travels for an upcoming away matchup against North Carolina.
