Welcome to another Bagpipe Monday on One Foot Down! Friends, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 9-0 and positioned to make the college football playoffs. If things end the way we all hope, by the end of November we can say these things:
- Brian Kelly would be only the third Notre Dame head coach to go unbeaten and untied twice in his career. Frank Leahy also did it twice, and Knute Rockne did it five times.
- The Irish would be in the college football playoffs for the first time.
- It would give Notre Dame its best back-to-back seasons since 1992 & 1993 (22-2-1).
