Notre Dame 10, Clemson...
Never mind. (But if you must know: 34.) Was there a football game this Saturday? I must have missed it, and Notre Dame seems to have missed it as well. The good news is that the selection committee didn't ignore the rest of the season, including Notre Dame's win against Clemson in their previous game a few weeks ago, and gave the Fighting Irish a berth into the playoff anyway. Notre Dame is #4, which means they'll have the opportunity to stem the Alabama Crimson Tide, ranked #1 since Notre Dame knocked off Clemson. Clemson will play Ohio State, so it's conceivable that there will be a third battle between ND and the Tigers. Conceivable, but not if the Irish play the way they did on Saturday.
So, we'll see. If the right Notre Dame team shows up on January 1, they'll have a chance; if not, then it could get ugly.
Ok, enough objectivity. Come January 1, it will be back to proper smack talk. Go Irish!
