Last week Notre Dame moved up to 4th in the College Football Playoff Rankings on the heels os an impressive road win over Pitt in which the final score wasn’t indicative of how easy the win was. A week later Notre Dame finds itself in the opposite scenario – the Irish beat a 3-6 opponent on home by 21 but didn’t put the game away until more than halfway through the 4th quarter. So where does this leave the Irish this week?
First off, Notre Dame’s “ugly” 21 point win is certainly a nice change of pace from last year’s November results as the Irish limped to the end of the season.
