Opponent Preview: Stanford Offense

After 11 grueling weeks of football, it all comes down to one last contest to determine the postseason fate of Notre Dame. In this week’s College Football Playoff rankings, the Irish (11-1) dropped from four to six, pushing them out of the top four playoff teams. Many were enraged over the fact that Oklahoma was voted in at third despite losing to Texas, who Notre Dame decimated in the first week of the season. The committee’s message is loud and clear Domer fans: the Irish will have to show them that they are a legitimate playoff team by beating ninth-ranked Stanford.
