Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Media members releasing bowl predictions overwhelmingly favor whichever team is playing against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
I’m keeping track of each media member’s bowl predictions here.
At present, 54 of the 59 writers believe the Clemson Tigers will prevail in the Cotton Bowl clash on Dec. 29 at AT&T Stadium. The five Irish backers include two from the university’s student newspaper, a former Notre Dame beat writer now writing for Sports Illustrated and former head coach of the UCLA Bruins.
