Sports Illustrated had US LBM Coaches Poll No. 3 Notre Dame as the No. 11 seed in their mock College Football Playoff bracket last week.
This week, SI propelled the Fighting Irish to the No. 2 seed after their upset victory over previously top-ranked Miami.
SI projects that Notre Dame (8-1) will face No. 6 Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl of the CFP quarterfinals. After beating the Volunteers, the Irish will go up against No. 7 Alabama in the Orange Bowl of the semifinal round.
Notre Dame will then meet top-seeded Georgia in the CFP National Championship game in Las Vegas, according to SI.
Miami and Indiana are also top-four seeds.
