So… I just published the reasons why Notre Dame should make the decision to not accept any bowl invitation this year, and then I see they did IN FACT decide to opt out. They are 100% doing the right thing here. There is no need to help a system out that is hell bent on […]

Notre Dame fans are still a little shocked after today’s final college football playoff rankings that pushed the Irish back to #11 and OUT of the playoff. There is still plenty of time to slam the committee, scientologists, drug lords, and whoever else you want for this snubbing — but there is some business at […]

The college football playoff committee is the most corrupt body in all of sports (and with FIFA that’s saying something). As the playoff rankings were unveiled we saw no movement in the top 8, and then it got ridiculous. Notre Dame is OUT of the college football playoff. Alabama, who was just blown out by […]

Sebastian Mack’s night was already going poorly as he waited on Jacob Crews to set a high ball screen midway through the second half against Notre Dame. The UCLA transfer had clanked a pair of three-balls, and stepping in front of an errant Brady Koehler pass produced a fastbreak that saw his layup attempt swatted […]

For every argument you can make for Miami, Notre Dame, Alabama, and even BYU there is a previous result that should scare all 4 at large candidates and puts anything and everything on the table. What if a team won its conference championship game by double digits over a top 15 tm and was in … Continue reading »

The Miami vs. Notre Dame playoff debate has been the talk of the sports world this week, and while many have talked about it among the talking heads, one notable name who carries a ton of weight hasn’t weighed in on it yet. That is, until Saturday morning on College Gameday. Nick Saban and the […]

The college football regular season is over and done, and here comes the postseason. Obviously as an Independent, Notre Dame won’t be participating this weekend, but the impact from some of those games could be massive.

I wrote in the recap of the Missouri game that it was the most important game of Micah Shrewsberry’s tenure thus far at Notre Dame, and I stand by it. Yet, this one didn’t feel any less huge. By beating Missouri, Notre Dame earned the right to have tonight’s game mean something. A win would […]

Without exaggeration, tonight’s contest against the Missouri Tigers represented the most important game of the Micah Shrewsberry era to-date. Expectations are for the program to be in the hunt for an NCAA tournament bid, and for that to be a realistic possibility, there needs to be a quality non-conference win to point to. Beating Houston […]

When I saw Miami at 12 in the latest CFP poll, initially, I thought that’s not good for Miami. Then Notre Dame dropped a spot to 10. Oddly enough, Alabama moved up a spot after barely surviving 5 win Auburn. Nevermind, they have a loss to one of the ACC’s worst teams, Florida State. That’s … Continue reading »

The penultimate set of College Football Playoff rankings were released and the committee decided to move Notre Dame down to #10 and Alabama up to #9. If you’ve been paying attention to me over the past few weeks — this is pretty much what I expected from the committee. They want Bama in the playoff […]

It’s National Signing Day on Wednesday for Notre Dame Football and the rest of the country. Over the years we have seen the calendar change several times for the recruiting cycle, and this year brings another change as the early period for Signing Day is sooner than it’s ever been — which is fine.

Happy victory Monday, SOTUers. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday. The Miami Hurricanes made it a good one for all us, bludgeoning Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon 38-7.

The Notre Dame football team has finished the regular season and are awaiting to see what will happen for the post season — namely, the college football playoff.

Notre Dame got off to a rough start in 2025, but they looked like they fixed a few things in a 56-30 win over the Purdue Boilermakers and then the 56-13 win on the road against the Arkansas Razorbacks. They followed those two victories with two victories which covered massive spreads in a 28-7 win […]
