Hoodwinked: CFP Committee's "Logic" Spoils Notre Dame's Championship Hopes
The results are in. Alabama and Miami in, Notre Dame out. Despite having the Irish as a member of the field a mere five days ago, they're now on the outside looking in. What in the hell happened? Where's the logic? Well, the "logic" employed by the committee is flawed. And a subtle switch they made in the penultimate installment of the CFP rankings set Notre Dame up for failure.

Ran The Table: How Notre Dame Flipped 0-2 to 10-2
After beginning the season with back-to-back losses, it was easy to consider Notre Dame’s year over by mid-September.

Bruce's Take - Irish Shutout Syracuse in Dominant Senior Day Performance
Coming into Saturday's contest, Notre Dame was on an eight-game winning streak and fresh off a dominant performance against Pitt. The Irish didn't even play to their full potential and still managed to win 37-15. Syracuse, on the other hand, had not won a game since their 34-21 win over Clemson way back in September. Since then, it has been an absolute trainwreck of losses, resulting in a six-game losing streak for the Orange. Photo via Notre Dame Athletics So, it was expecte

Syracuse Looking to Play Spoiler Against Notre Dame: Three Orange Players To Keep An Eye On
With Syracuse on a six-game skid, they have turned to walk-on freshman QB Joseph Filardi in an attempt to pull off the unthinkable.

Do the Irish Have a Miami Problem? Analyzing Notre Dame's Current CFP Standing
Coming off a dominant showing against Pitt, Notre Dame stayed put in the newest CFP rankings.

This was easy to say as Notre Dame was building their winning streak while the Hurricanes faltered, losing to both Louisville and SMU. Today, that notion

Unstoppable Force vs Immovable Object or Jeremiyah Love vs Pitt's Front Seven - Breaking Down the Panthers' Defense
Irish RB Jeremiyah Love, a potential Heisman candidate, could be tasked with his biggest test since last season’s National Championship against Ohio State. While Pitt’s secondary has been prone to mistakes, their run defense is among the best in the country, with good run-stoppers at nearly every level. The Panthers’ ability to limit opposing teams' top rushers has no doubt been a factor in their current five-game winning streak.

Notre Dame Defense Looks to Slow Down Productive Pitt Pass Attack: Previewing the Panthers Offense
Seven days after not being asked to do much against Navy’s heavy-run attack, Notre Dame's middling pass defense will be tasked with a challenge this week against Pitt’s pass-heavy offense. Following back-to-back early-season losses, the Panthers benched second-year starting QB Eli Holstein in favor of freshman Mason Heintschel. Since the move, both the offense and wins have picked up with Pitt entering this weekend 5-0 with Heintschel leading the way.

Notre Dame Shipping Top 20 Offense Up to Boston (College): Breaking Down the Eagles' Defense
After holding Fordham to 10, Boston College has failed to hold an opponent to under 28 points, a key reason for their current skid. It is tough to find a bright spot on a defensive unit that fails to create pressure, stop the run, or make plays in coverage. There are a couple of promising underclassmen, including freshman nickel TJ Green, but it looks like it might be another long Saturday with a top-20 Notre Dame offense in their way.

Back on Track: How the Notre Dame Defense has Been Reinvigorated
In the five games since the home loss against Texas A&M, the Notre Dame defense has been flying around the field for the most part. This past week, we saw them hold the top offense in the country to a season-low 24 points. Late last month, the Irish defense traveled down to Arkansas and held the Razorbacks' offense to just 13 points, an offense that has scored at least 31 in every other game.

Love And Price Power Notre Dame Past USC
Coming into this game, there was so much talk surrounding the rivalry between Notre Dame and USC. Would this be the last face-off between the two storied historic programs for the foreseeable future? With no contract extension agreed upon by either team, we may have seen the final game between these two, which would be awful in my opinion, as this is truly one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports, dating back to 1926.
