If you're watching College Gameday and hearing Desmond Howard question whether it's fair that Notre Dame may make the CFB Playoff without having to play a 13th game -- consider this:

#1 ALABAMA -- 10 wins over FBS opponents

• Played Louisiana-Lafayette and Arkansas State (game #2 and game #4)
• Played "FCS school" Citadel in game #11
• Biggest wins:  #7 LSU, #18 Mississippi State, #22 Texas A&M

#2 CLEMSON -- 10 wins over FBS opponents

•  Played "FCS school" Furman in their opening game
•  Has beaten TWO TEAM in the CFB Playoff Top 25 Rankings
•  Biggest win:  #20 Syracuse and #22 Texas A&M

#3 NOTRE DAME -- 11 wins over FBS opponents

• Played #4 Michigan in their opening game
• Has beaten FOUR TEAM in the CFB Playoff Top 25 Rankings
• Biggest wins:  #4 Michigan, #19 Northwestern, #20 Syracuse and #24 Pittsburgh

#4 MICHIGAN -- 10 wins over FBS opponents

• Played #3 Notre Dame in their opening game
• Has beaten TWO TEAMS in the CFB Playoff Top 25 Rankings
• Biggest wins:  #12 Penn State, #19 Northwestern 

Makes you wonder why Notre Dame is only ranked "#3" -- doesn't it! 

I'm not questioning whether Alabama or Clemson deserve to be ranked ahead of Notre Dame -- they probably do, based on how impressive they have looked so far.  

What I am arguing is this statement -- "it's not fair that Notre Dame doesn't have to play a 13th game." 

We have played "big boy football" opponents every week -- Alabama and Clemson has not.

• Alabama played 12 games in 2017 -- they played in the 2017 CFB Playoff
• Ohio State played 12 games in 2016 -- they played in the 2016 CFB Playoff   
• WE MUST BEAT SC TONIGHT -- or, it doesn't matter...                                                                                                                                                                                          

It's Here! Notre Dame vs. Southern Cal
