People can say what they want about the college football playoffs up to now, but with a final four set with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Penn State Nittany Lions, Texas Longhorns, and Ohio State Buckeyes — the country is getting a blue-blood bonanza.
For Notre Dame, their path to the Orange Bowl has given the program a lot of redemption for sins committed over the past 31 years. The win over Georgia in particular, has granted them a different status among fans and observers from all over the country.
