Notre Dame is no longer a top choice after the team's sluggish game against Ball State. The Fighting Irish would leave with a 24-16 win, but created more questions than answers.
Early morning Biggest CFB Takeaways:

Alabama is using the Contra Code with Tua at QB
Oklahoma is making the CFB Playoff
Georgia is freaking legit
Clemson is lucky it plays in the ACC.
Miss St needs more credit.
Arizona....WOOF
The Clemson Tigers fought off the Texas A&M Aggies to save their playoff hopes, while Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma and Ohio State continued to look like powerhouse schools.
Alabama sits at a firm No. 1, and will remain there until they prove otherwise. Beyond them, it's anyones game, but the Buckeyes look awfully formidable.
