The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are surging right now. The loss ND suffered at the hands of the Northern Illinois Huskies was an incredible weight put around its neck. The Irish were ranked #5 after beating the Texas A&M Aggies in College Station, but fell to #18 with that home MAC loss. The future was uncertain, and many of us were waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Well... it hasn’t yet, and after rattling off 6 mostly dominant wins, Notre Dame is back in the top ten at #8 and we’re all talking about a home playoff game as a likely destination if the Irish win their last four games.
