This is what Notre Dame Stadium looked like -- forty-seven minutes after the 40-7 win over Boston College. Members of Notre Dame's Class of 2020 were invited onto the field, along with the Fighting Irish who wore their Gold Helmets for the last time in the House That Rock Built.
With just one game left on Notre Dame's 2019 football schedule -- I thought I'd take a look at all of the teams that have been ranked, at some point this season -- that the Fighting Irish have played...
Here's the current Top 10 ranked teams -- and how many teams on their schedule that have been ranked:
LSU: 4 opponents; Texas, Florida, Auburn and Alabama
Ohio State: 5 opponents; Indiana, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan
Clemson: 2 opponents; Texas A&M and Wake Forest
Georgia: 4 opponents; Notre Dame, Florida, Auburn and Texas A&M
Alabama: 3 opponents; Texas A&M, LSU and Auburn
Oregon: 4 opponents; Auburn, Washington, USC and Arizona State

Penn State: 5 opponents; Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio State
Oklahoma: 3 opponents; Texas, Baylor and Oklahoma State
Minnesota: 3 opponents; Penn State, Iowa and Wisconsin
