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. Photo by Tyler Wong Now, to state the obvious, Notre Dame lost two football games, and the only re

Bruce's Take - Notre Dame Pummels Pitt 37-15 in Dominant Road Performance
Coming into this game, there was a lot of weirdness to start the week with Pitt Head Coach Pat Narduzzi stating that "It is not an ACC game. I'd gladly get beaten 103 or 110 -10 in that game. They could put up 100 on us as long as we win the next two after that." Photo via Notre Dame Athletics If that wasn't bad enough, he appeared on the Pat McAfee show and explained that the statement was made because he was "trying to take the pressure off the team," and then followed it u

Irish Anchor Down the Midshipmen, Continue Win Streak
Coming into this game, there were a lot of questions and concerns about the Irish after a lackluster performance against Boston College last week. Coming off a bye week, it was expected that Notre Dame would make easy work of Boston College, but that wasn't the case, which left many wondering: What the heck happened during that bye week, and did the Irish even prepare at all? What I saw was a team that overlooked a bad 1-7, which ultimately led to a poor performance. Photo vi

Slow Start, Fast Finish: Notre Dame Handles Business
Any time a team at kickoff is a 22.5-point favorite (like Notre Dame was on Saturday), you expect that team to have no problem dominating both sides of the ball and scoring at will against its opponent. That looked like it would be the case on Saturday when, on the second play of the game, Boubacar Traore got home for a sack, and the defense made easy work of NC State’s offense on the opening series of the game. Photo via Notre Dame Athletics Notre Dame’s offense mirrored the
