Notre Dame Football: Week 12 Irish bowl projections are back to being diverse

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish improved its record to 7-3 with the win over the Navy Midshipmen, which absolutely didn’t move the needle one way or the other nationally.

Cool.

Most of the bowl projections for the Irish are still with the Gator or Holiday Bowls with a grab bag of possible opponents.

My favorite prediction, however, is from SI’s Richard Johnson (again). The former SBN college football writer has Notre Dame headed to the Gasparilla Bowl to take on FIU. I finally met Mr. Johnson in Notre Dame’s press box during the Clemson game — so he is a real person. I’m not really sure I can say the same thing about that bowl projection though — but it’s A+ trolling.
