Everyone is excited about the big game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and USC Trojans, and everything that comes with it.
The lore of the rivalry has been a major focus for both teams, and their fans this week. It is the greatest intersectional college football rivalry in the whole damn land, and another chapter is about to be written.
Before we get to the picks, check out this great video about the rivalry:
Now that we have that settled, we can move on to the picks... AND WE HAVE A NEW LEADER IN THE CLUBHOUSE. Ryan has finally knocked Jessica off of her throne, BUT... he didn't get his picks in this week. So, per my normal tradition if someone doesn't turn them in, I flip a coin.
Here are this week's picks. Play along if you like in the comments below. Apparently, I am as accurate as a blind dog trying to pee off of a boat in a hurricane. Yay me!
