GT QB and OL Talk Loss to Notre Dame

Let's Revisit the CFB Playoff Discussion...

If you follow this blog -- you would have seen this post a couple weeks ago.  It laid out Notre Dame's journey to the College Football Playoffs -- BELOW IN RED.  Let's see how it's going so far:

Now, I will preface this exercise with I truly don't feel we have any chance of making the College Football Playoffs this year -- because of the lack of perceived quality wins...

Yet, the "fat lady's not singing" -- so, let's walk through the next five weeks of college football and show how our Fighting Irish could end up in the TOP 4...

WEEK ONE:

• #10 Notre Dame beats Navy convincingly CHECK!
  
• #9 Wake Forest loses to North Carolina  CHECK!                                                 
  

Notre Dame moves up to #9  CHECK!

 

WEEK TWO:

• #9 Notre Dame beats Virginia convincingly  CHECK!
  
• #8 Oklahoma loses to #14 Baylor  CHECK!
  
• #7 Michigan loses to Penn State  MISSED
  

Notre Dame moves up to #7 MISSED -- NOTRE DAME #8

 

WEEK THREE:

• #7 Notre Dame beats Georgia Tech convincingly  CHECK!
  
• #6 Cincinnati loses to SMU MISSED
  
• #5 Michigan State loses to #6 Ohio State  CHECK!
• #3 Oregon loses to Utah
  

Notre Dame moves up to #5 -- GOING TO PROJECT US AT #6

 

WEEK FOUR:

• #5 Notre Dame beats Stanford convincingly
• #4 Ohio State loses to Michigan

Notre Dame moves up to #4 -- GOING TO PROJECT US AT #5

 

WEEK FIVE:

• #4 Notre Dame is idle 
• No upsets in the Championship games // unless it's Oregon losing! PAC 12 IS OUT!
• NEED GEORGIA TO MANHANDLE ALABAMA

Sign of the Day at Notre Dame!

 

Our Fighting Irish sacked the Georgia Tech QB -- 6 times today.  Making that 13 sacks in just the last two games and 37 for the season.  Should move Notre Dame close to the TOP 5 in the country in this defensive category!

Is the College Football World Ready For This?

 

The folks at ESPN released this yesterday -- I'm sure it has not been well received in; Columbus, Cincinnati, Ann Arbor, Norman, Stillwater, Eugene and East Lansing...

But, if our Fighting Irish win its next two games -- this is what could happen on December 5th.

 

Photo Of The Day: Lake Effect Snow at ND!

 

Was just sent this photo of the "lake effect" snow we're receiving this evening at the University of Notre Dame du Lac!

Photo was taken by my great friend and Holy Cross Priest -- Fr. Ralph Haag, C.S.C. -- who also serves as the Rector at St. Ed's Hall.

BEAUTIFUL!
