Notre Dame football has quietly re-entered the conversation as one of the top teams of the 2024 college football season.

Winners of their last six games, the 11th-ranked Irish (7-1 overall) have rebounded well since being upset by Northern Illinois in September and lived up to their preseason expectations as a possible national contender championship.

Marcus Freeman’s side is coming off a dominant two-game stretch against Georgia Tech and Navy in neutral-site games. In those two games against the Yellow Jackets and the Midshipmen, the Irish scored 82 combined points and 851 combined total yards of offense while their defense gave up just four combined touchdowns.

The Irish’s recent resurgence in recent weeks has put Notre Dame back in the conversation for a spot in the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff, but it will be up to them to keep that momentum going heading into a bye week.

Here’s when the Irish return, including a look at Notre Dame’s remaining schedule:

Is Notre Dame playing football today?

No, Notre Dame is in its second bye week of the 2024 college football season. Freeman’s team returns to the field next week when they welcome Florida State (1-7, 1-6 ACC) to Notre Dame Stadium.

The Irish’s game next Saturday against the Seminoles will be the first meeting between the two teams since 2021. It is also a game that does not weigh as heavily on a resume as it did at the beginning of the season (should Notre Dame win), as Florida State has fallen significantly from its preseason top 10 rankings.

Notre Dame will then play its final home game of the season a week later in South Bend against Virginia on November 9. The Irish next travel to Yankees Stadium for the Shamrock Series against No. 21 Army before heading to Los Angeles to play USC in their regular season finale.
