Notre Dame showed this season why its comfortable staying independent — even if it has to play an extra game in its quest for a championship.

A 12th regular-season opponent remains to be scheduled for Notre Dame football in 2025. A trip to Stanford would make the most sense.

Notre Dame’s athletic director said “I think there’s a chance” there will be tweaks to the way the College Football Playoff awards byes next year — an issue that will be discussed this weekend but that would need unanimous approval from the 10 conferences and the Fighting Irish.

Any adjustments to the College Football Playoff for next season, including a potential tweak in the way the teams are seeded, would have to take place later this year, probably in the spring.
