Is Notre Dame already on a collision course for the College Football Playoff?

On this episode, Moon breaks down why the Fighting Irish may have one of the smoothest paths to the College Football Playoff in the country. With a schedule that doesn't appear to present a true test until mid-October, can Notre Dame build enough momentum to all but lock up a playoff spot before the toughest stretch of the season arrives?

We'll dive into:
• Notre Dame's 2026 schedule
• The biggest trap games before October
• Why the Irish control their own playoff destiny
• What could derail a potential CFP run
• Playoff predictions and season outlook

Is Notre Dame being overlooked... or are they simply that good?

Pull up a chair. The day is officially done. College Football did not take its foot off the gas.

If you were out living your life today (seriously, good for you), you missed a lot. Tonight, we are talking about an 18-year-old who might walk into SEC play in September, a 26-year-old who gave up professional baseball money to go catch passes in college, a video game cover that just confirmed where the sport’s cultural gravity lives right now, a Hall of Fame ballot that is quietly assembling one of the more fascinating classes in years, and a CFP broadcast schedule that just handed TNT a semifinal. Plus, Kirk Herbstreit won’t return for College Football 27. Pain.

Welcome back to the CFB Refresh. Late night edition. Let’s go through everything, frame by frame. thecfbnation.com

The NCAA just released its Academic Progress Rate report and three SWAC programs — Florida A&M, Alabama A&M, and Mississippi Valley State — are the ONLY three programs in all of Division I football facing postseason bans. Three schools. All HBCUs. Alabama A&M successfully filed for a waiver and preserved their eligibility. But FAMU and Mississippi Valley State are banned from the SWAC Championship Game, the Celebration Bowl, and the FCS playoffs before the 2026 season even starts.Moon breaks down what this means — for the fan bases, for the new coaches trying to rebuild, for the Celebration Bowl, and for the bigger conversation about where resources and accountability need to go in HBCU football.Jackson State leads the SWAC with a 961 APR. Alabama State is at 953. Prairie View A&M at 948. These programs are doing it right — developing talent on the field AND in the classroom simultaneously. That is the gold standard. That is where the investment needs to go.📋 WHAT WE COVER→ The full APR breakdown — every SWAC score ranked→ What Level 2 penalties actually mean for these programs→ The gut punch to FAMU fans and Quinn Gray Sr.'s rebuild→ Mississippi Valley State's new coach denied before he starts→ The money argument flipped — you can't ask for investment while failing the standard→ Jackson State, Prairie View & Alabama State — the programs doing it right→ Akron in FBS got the same ban — this is bigger than HBCUs→ The Celebration Bowl conversation and what the postseason picture looks like now→ The accountability call — we pour into the programs that show up📲 FIND CFB NATION EVERYWHERE🌐 thecfbnation.com📺 YouTube: @TheCFBNation🐦 Twitter/X: @TheCFBNation | @CFBMoon📱 Instagram: @CFBNationHQ🎙 Podcast: CFB Nation on all streaming platforms

The data doesn't lie: 22 tight ends drafted this spring, 9 in the first three rounds. One quarterback in round one. The tight end revolution is here and Moon has the receipts.The WRLD Tour hits 12 programs from the Spring Game Blitz — Texas, Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia, Miami, Georgia Tech, Houston, Kentucky, Toledo, Vanderbilt, Auburn and Campbell.
