The SportsLine Projection Model has revealed its Texas A&M Aggies vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish matchup on Saturday

Notre Dame remains winless heading into Week 4 of the FBS season. The Fighting Irish fell to 0-2 on the season after losing 41-40 to Texas A&M at home on Friday night. Some college football fans were left wondering if last year's national championship runner-up can expect to make the playoff this fall.

Notre Dame is 0-2, and sure, if it wins 10 straight to close the year, it can still play in the College Football Playoff. Here in reality, though, it's clear that Notre Dame has issues all over the field. Too many turnovers on offense, a giant special teams blunder late, and about that defense...

Marcus Freeman's buyout with Notre Dame is an unknown amount due to the Fighting Irish being a private university. His deal was originally reported to have a buyout of just $4 million, but when Freeman signed a contract extension in December 2024, the buyout amount reportedly went up substantially.

Notre Dame will need a win over Texas A&M to maintain a sure place in the College Football Playoff rankings, as Nick Saban sees it.
