Yesterday’s blowout at the hands of Clemson was not the way anyone wanted the season the end – especially the players and coaching staff of the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame looked like the Irish of the past when facing an elite opponent instead of the veteran unit we had seen all season long. Despite losing by 24 to the Tigers, however, many college football analysts still have the Irish 4th and project them in the playoffs.
Here is Fox Sports’s Joel Klatt stating that he thinks the committee will go with Notre Dame at #4.
ESPN’s Chris Fowler, who called the game says he thinks Notre Dame is still deserving.
