OUTCOME
CONFIRMED TRUEFlorida State finished 2-10, going bowl-ineligible and becoming the first CFP-era team to go from double-digit wins to double-digit losses in a single year — far exceeding the 3+ losses threshold. Notre Dame not only made the CFP as a No. 7 seed, but advanced all the way to the national championship game before losing to Ohio State 34-23.
