With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Irish now find themselves in the Top 8 of the CFP rankings. If that holds -- which would mean Notre Dame winning its final two games of the season -- the blue and gold would host a first-round playoff game. But with a massive challenge this weekend at Yankee Stadium against Army, followed by a trip West to face USC, what must be done for Marcus Freeman's bunch to secure their place in the field?
On this week's episode of "First & Gold," Pete and Clayton discuss Notre Dame's upcoming showdown with No. 16-ranked Army. With a defense playing as one of the best in the country and an offense that continues to gain confidence on a weekly basis, how will the Irish handle the different looks Army features on both sides of the ball?
Plus, following impressive victories over Georgetown and North Dakota, ND's men's basketball team finds themselves off to a hot start, while the No. 6-ranked women's squad continues to roll as well. With challenging schedules ahead for both, what's the ceiling for these talented squads?
The guys break it all down, so be sure to tune in! Go Irish!
