How Notre Dame Secures an ACC "Double Bye"

Here's what we'll know about Notre Dame's ACC Tournament schedule somewhere between 4 PM ET and 10:30 PM ET Saturday night:

Beat Louisville -- the Fighting Irish will finish in either a tie for first with North Carolina (if they lose to Duke) -- or, finish all alone in 2nd place.  Notre Dame earns a double-bye!

Lose to Louisville -- for the Irish to earn a double-bye, one of these things need to happen:

• Miami beats Florida State -- Irish earn a double-bye
• North Carolina beats Duke -- Irish earn a double-bye

If Louisville, Florida State and Duke win tomorrow -- the Fighting Irish lose out on the ACC tie-breaker formula (ND will have one more loss in their overall record then the other three teams) -- and will end up the #5 seed...

Kizer Not a Lock for 1st Round -- Latest Mocks

Took a lap around the NFL media "experts" to see what they're thinking as it relates to DeShone Kizer and his draft position -- along with the expected "first" NFL contract amount.

I found SEVEN MOCK DRAFTS -- and only ONE has KIZER going in the FIRST ROUND, it's linked below.

Now, all of this could change over the next couple of days as Kizer meets in person with all of the NFL teams...
