#3 Notre Dame (8-1) @ #7 Miami (8-0)

ND has won four straight, dating back to 1990.

ND opens as a 3.5 point favorite, but I'm going with the Convicts to spoil.

After the Hens there's no college team I root for more than the Irish. I'm hoping Adams is fine and Notre Dame continues to steamroller teams. I'm not sure which game is going to be harder - this one against Miami or the season ender against Stanford. Miami has played a ton of close games against teams that aren't all that good, so I think Notre Dame wins this one and then the real struggle comes against a Stanford team that's hard to run against. Oh, and Navy is sandwiched in between these games, but I think ND handles them this year.

I do give ND credit for being indy but still booking decent SOS. Temple and Navy is a lot more formidable than Fresno and Mercer (looking at you, Alabama).

If Notre Dame loses, Notre Dame loses.
If Miami loses, we're one step closer to a playoff where 3 of the power 5 conferences will be left out.

I never thought of it that way. That will speed up the process of changes wrt the 4 team playoff and/or B12 cannibalization.

Catholics getting bent over.

41-8 and losing to a lower ranked team...yikes. That'll hurt.

Notre Dame gonna Notre Dame.
UGA gonna UGA.

Oh well, it was not meant to be. Miami might just be that good. Hopefully ND finishes out strong - still have Navy and Stanford to wrap things up - and still plays on Jan 1, just not in the playoff.
