At 6-0, there is a lot going for Notre Dame football. With three wins over ranked opponents, the team looks better and better each week — and the Irish are favorites in every game for the rest of the season.
After beating Virginia Tech, Notre Dame controls its own their destiny. The luck of the Irish shined when the Hokies slipped right back into the rankings after a shocking loss to Old Dominion dropped them out the previous week. While it will go down as Virginia Tech being ranked No. 24 when the Irish defeated them, it’s hard to say the Hokies are not a top 20 team even though that may not be the case in the polls.
