While Notre Dame doesn't play this weekend, there are plenty of games to watch that will be interesting to Fighting Irish fans. Some of those games have a direct impact on ND's path to the playoffs. Others, like Arkansas vs Auburn, could be interesting for other reasons. In the case between the two SEC also-rans, the Tigers might start former Irish quarterback commit Deuce Knight.
Auburn has had some serious production problems at the quarterback position so far this year. Head coach Hugh Freeze is looking to do whatever he can to win some games and save his job.
