Since its two-point road loss to Clemson, Notre Dame football’s season has been a week-to-week journey with a marquee matchup waiting Thanksgiving weekend.

“They’re in a position to accomplish the mission that they went on and that was to have an opportunity to be part of one of the four teams selected for the playoffs,” Irish head coach Brian Kelly told reporters Tuesday.
