Once upon a time, Notre Dame won a huge football game against the No.-1 team in the country with a trip to Boston College up next. The year was 1993, the first opponent was Florida State, and the Eagles dealt a stunning upset to the Irish just a week later. Will history repeat itself in the wake of Notre Dame’s triumph over Clemson?
That contest is the headliner on this weekend’s depleted slate, as several other College Football Playoff contenders either had their games postponed or have a scheduled open date.
This week’s list of five impact games also includes another Atlantic Coast Conference affair, one relevant game in the SEC that didn’t get postponed, and key division matchups in the Big Ten and Pac-12.
