Notre Dame was the first team out of the College Football Playoff when the bracket was revealed on Dec. 7. Here's how social media reacted:

Notre Dame has announced it will not participate in a bowl game this year, joining Iowa State and Kansas State in declining postseason invitations.

Texas finished right on the edge of playoff contention at No. 13. In 2024, the team entered the field at No. 5 and progressed all the way to the semifinal Cotton Bowl, where it lost to eventual champions Ohio State. They made the field in 2023, as well.

A decision made Sunday by a prominent college football team could have lasting ramifications on a college football tradition.
