As the calendar flips to October and the first of two bye weeks for Notre Dame football, here are a few arguments on both sides of the CFP ledger.

The Rebels are 4-0 ATS, and dual-threat quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams led a 59-14 victory against Fresno State. Kyle McCord leads the FBS with 364.8 passing yards per game. Syracuse is 1-6 ATS as a road underdog since 2022. This line ticked a half-point from its opening, but the Orange are good enough to keep this close.
