It was close for a while, but Notre Dame wore them down and in the end, won going away, 38-17. Notre Dame looked extremely good; it's not that Stanford turned into Stanfiat. (Or for the middle-aged among you, Stanyugo.)
Congrats to the Fighting Irish, who have to go up at least a spot or two, getting closer to a top 4 spot that would get them into the playoff.
Record so far: 5-0.
Next victim: Virginia Tech, which will probably be ranked somewhere between 20 and 25 in the next poll.
Tune time!
