Coach Kelly Talks BC Win with Jack Nolan

Tonight's CFB Playoff Rankings...

Folks, here's the drill...

Whether we're #3, #4, #5 or #6 tonight -- it really doesn't matter.

WE HAVE TO BEAT STANFORD SATURDAY ON THE ROAD -- we do that and I like our chances of finishing in the TOP FOUR.  Here's why:

• The ACC will have one team in the CFB Playoff
• The SEC will have one team in the CFB Playoff
• The Big Ten will have one team in the CFB Playoff 

This is a given.

It will come down to who looks better on paper out of these three teams -- for one of those four positions in the Playoff:

• 11 - 1 Notre Dame
• 11 - 1 Oklahoma or an 11 - 1 Oklahoma State

Here's what that "paper" looks like right now:

NOTRE DAME:

• FBS Opponents:  11
• Opponents Records:  73 - 58
• Opponents with 8+ wins:  5
• Common opponent Texas: Notre Dame 38 - Texas 3

Please note:  if Pitt beats Miami this Saturday -- ND will have 5 opponents with 9+ wins this season.

OKLAHOMA:

• FBS Opponents:  11
• Opponents Records:  69 - 59
• Opponents with 8+ wins:  3 
• Common opponent Texas:  Texas 24 - Oklahoma 17

OKLAHOMA STATE:

• FBS Opponents: 9
• Opponents Records:  67 - 60 
• Opponents with 8+ wins: 3
• Common opponent Texas: Oklahoma State 30 - Texas 27

We beat Stanford Saturday night -- it will be difficult to keep us out of the Playoff!

David Ortiz's Request of Notre Dame Football

This is pretty cool.

Notre Dame Football Equipment Manager Ryan Grooms @NDFBEquipment sent out this tweet, acknowledging that Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz requested that Notre Dame wide receiver Torii Hunter, Jr. (son of recently retired baseball star Torii Hunter, Sr.) -- be assigned his locker for tonight's game at Fenway Park.

Classy move.
