Notre Dame will not play in a bowl game after it was left out of the College Football Playoff.The team said in a statement Sunday afternoon that it had decided to end its season.“As a team, we’ve decided to withdraw our name from consideration for a bowl game following the 2025 season,” the statement said. “We appreciate all the support from our families and fans, and we’re hoping to bring the 12th national title to South Bend in 2026.”Notre Dame entered Sunday ranked 10th in the College Football Playoff rankings and in line for the final at-large spot. However, the CFP selection committee chose to put Miami in the playoff over Notre Dame and moved the Hurricanes ahead of the Fighting Irish in the rankings for the first time all season.Miami beat Notre Dame in Week 1 and the two teams finished with identical 10-2 records.
