The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, having already locked up a berth in the ACC Championship Game, can complete another perfect regular season on Saturday at home against the Syracuse Orangemen. The undefeated Irish enter the game as massive favorites, with the Orangemen entering this clash with a cringe-worthy 1-9 record on the season.
Notre Dame could probably go through the motions in this game and still win, but it seems likely that Brian Kelly will be reinforcing the high stakes involved. The Irish have won the last three meetings between these two teams, including a blowout victory at Yankee Stadium two years ago, something that may be repeated under the Golden Dome.
