Hey CFB Playoff -- Here Come The Irish!
For the 14th time in Notre Dame Football history -- a Fighting Irish team goes undefeated and untied during the regular season!
Some "Fun Facts" As We Wait for ND vs. USC
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:Should Michigan leapfrog Notre Dame if they win out?— College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) November 24, 2018
Things got a little heated on the GameDay set. pic.twitter.com/UAbyjGceqc
#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

#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...

Happy Thanksgiving from Notre Dame!

Hope you enjoyed both!

WIN and Notre Dame is CFB Playoff Bound!
The Fighting Irish are sixty minutes of football on the "left coast" -- away, from playing what looks to be Clemson in Miami on December 29th.
Here's the "fun fact" -- Notre Dame is the only team to beat FOUR teams ranked in this week's CFB Playoff Top 25 rankings...
In fact, there's no team that has beat more than TWO teams in the Top 25!
