The Irish will be favored in every remaining match

In the midst of a 6-game winning streak dating back to Week 2, Notre Dame is gearing up for its November playoff run after enjoying its final bye week of the season. The Irish have 4 games left and they will be favored in all of them. If the Irish win, a CFP bid and perhaps even a first-round home game await them.

There is an old theory in college football that early season losses are better than late season losses. Notre Dame seems to live according to this theory. The Irish continue to win while other teams continue to trade losses and come back to advance Notre Dame. With many more ranked matches to play this regular season, the carnage isn’t over yet.

FSU plays incredibly horrible football

After an undefeated 13-0 season last year, FSU is now an incredible 1-8 after suffering a 35-11 loss to a very mediocre North Carolina team. Although the Seminoles occasionally play decent defense, their offense is a complete mess across the board.

How much of a waste is this? FSU hasn’t scored more than 21 points in any game this season. The Irish defense must be excited about this game.

Virginia is a 4-4 football team that is on a 3 game losing streak against Pitt before facing the Irish. As for the army? He faced Air Force without its starting QB and still beat the Falcons 20-3 to extend the nation’s longest winning streak to 12 games.

As for USC, the Trojans haven’t won a road game this season and fell to an abysmal 4-5 overall after a 26-21 loss to Washington.

Our Lady controls her own destiny. He will be favored to beat each of these teams and if he does, a CFP spot awaits him.
