Noting Notre Dame: Notre Dame has won nine games in a row by an average margin of over 30 points per game. The Fighting Irish are one win away from punching a College Football Playoff ticket. If they lose close and finish the year 10-2, they’re inviting a scary situation come selection day.
Noting USC: The Trojans have lost five games by a combined 19 points. They’re primed to play the Irish close, but time and again they have not been able to get over the hump. It would certainly feel like a catharsis of sorts if they find a way to hold serve at home in this annual rivalry.
