Earlier this week Notre Dame was moved up to 4th place in the College Football Playoffs poll, which almost means that if Notre Dame were to win out the rest of the season, they would most likely be in the playoffs. The Irish will try to make that happen but first must look to avoid a major upset as they take on Wake Forest.
Wake Forest is coming into this game off of a bye week, with a 3-6 record after losing three straight games. It is highly unlikely, but if Wake Forest is able to get of to a quick start and Notre Dame struggles, momentum and emotions can do very odd things and Wake Forest making this a game would be just another example.
