Notre Dame’s loss to Michigan didn’t just knock them out of the Playoffs; it knocked them out of the New Year’s 6 Bowl Games as well according to most current projections. Now a lot can change between now and the end of the year, and if Notre Dame wins out, the NY6 is still very much in play. That said, if Sports Illustrated’s latest bowl projection for Notre Dame ends up happening, I could be in trouble, you guys. SI is projecting the Gator Bowl against Texas A&M – my wife’s alma mater – after the Michigan debacle.
