The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are just hours away from finding out where they are sitting at in the race for the college football playoff. Notre Dame has been taking care of its business as all 7 wins for the Irish have been by 20 or more points.
Two of those wins just came in consecutive weeks against Top 15 opponents, the USC Trojans and the N.C. State Wolfpack. While this weeks test, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons aren't ranked, they are a dangerous football team and a quality ACC opponent.
You can follow along RIGHT HERE in this game stream all week long as we cover the game against the Demon Deacons.
We are starting to hear the phrase "style points" being used again, and even though the Irish have a body of work this season that can stand against anything else out there, we MUST remember what happened to the Irish in 2015.
That year, Notre Dame kept winning in the second half of the season, but the games were a lot closer than what people thought they should be, and it hurt the Irish in the rankings (which ended up not mattering with the final loss to the Stanford Cardinal).
Notre Dame will be looking to slaughter a much weaker rush defense than what it saw last week, and continues to keep grinding for that spot in the final four of the college football playoff rankings.
