First Four Out: Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Mississippi, Notre Dame
Texas A&M joins the projected playoffs after a thrilling 41-40 win over Notre Dame. The Aggies have been scoring a lot of points, but their defense will be tested during the SEC schedule, beginning with Auburn following a bye week. Meanwhile, the Irish are now 0-2, but the hardest part of their schedule is behind them. The margin for error is slim, but Notre Dame could be favored in their final ten games and are certainly not out of the playoff picture yet.
