Notre Dame beats No. 1 Miami, impacts College Football Playoff rankings

Notre Dame secured a 31-24 victory over No. 1 Miami at home on November 10, 2026, marking a significant upset in the College Football. The win propelled Notre Dame from No. 11 to No. 5 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. BYU also benefited, dropping just one spot to No. 10 despite their two losses, as the Irish's victory over a top-ranked opponent strengthened their position. Miami, playing without star receiver Malachi Toney, struggled to regain momentum after falling behind early. The Fighting Irish will face Boston College next, followed by a matchup against SMU and a season finale against Syracuse.
