There was plenty of tension in the relationship between Notre Dame and the ACC after the Fighting Irish were left out of the College Football Playoff, but the two sides reportedly held a "productive" meeting Thursday.

The biggest blowout in CFP history came in a title game, as in 2023, Georgia bludgeoned TCU 65-7 to win the national championship. While the Horned Frogs had made the game by beating Michigan 51-45 in the semifinal, they found no such luck against the Bulldogs.
