Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Clemson Tigers (-11.5)

Sat. 12/29, 4:00 p.m. ET in Dallas, TX

"There's no comparison," he said. "Clemson is the best football team we've played so far to this point."

Since Narduzzi's Panthers nearly upset Notre Dame in South Bend in October, it was a logical response.
