Notre Dame got worked by Miami this weekend. That probably killed their playoff dreams. They still have a very good win over USC and a solid win over Michigan State.
With two losses they probably should be out entirely. But this season seems to have chaos in the air. So given their resume I can't count them out entirely at this point. 
-6: See Georgia's explanation.  I was really rooting for Notre Dame here.  All the fairweather Miami fans I know are starting to come out of nowhere and they are annoying as hell
