Saturday, October 7 was something of a banner day for American catholics; Joe Biden was presumptively elected as only the second catholic president in the history of the United States, and #4 Notre Dame knocked off the top-ranked Clemson Tigers in double overtime.
Notre Dame’s signature victory over Clemson is the frontrunner for game of the year in college football and could have major implications for both the race for the ACC championship and the college football playoff. While the Irish now control their destiny in the race to win the ACC in their first and possibly only season as a member of the conference, Clemson is now one loss away from being eliminated from playoff contention, giving renewed hope to the 5-1 Miami Hurricanes who fell to the Tigers earlier in the year, but face a winnable slate of games in their final four games of the regular season.
