Kirk Herbstreit, College Football Playoff
Digest more
ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit predicted that the final spot in the College Football Playoff will come down to Notre Dame and Alabama.
We've got some drama ahead of College Football Playoff Selection Day. On Sunday at noon ET, the "College Football Playoff Selection Show" will air on ESPN. The selection committee will unveil its 12-team bracket for this postseason.
Herbstreit explained that BYU, who’s currently sitting between the two teams at No. 11, has been the barrier preventing the committee from applying the Hurricanes’ advantage over Notre Dame. But BYU now meets Texas Tech in the Big 12 Championship Game this weekend, a rematch of a regular-season loss.
Kirk Herbstreit believes Alabama would have to really take it on the chin against Georgia to be penalized on Selection Sunday.
