Now that Notre Dame football is ranked No. 9 in the AP polls, there is really only one more chance for the Fighting Irish to stumble on the road to the playoffs. That chance comes this weekend in what is becoming an ever more hyped up matchup with the Pitt Panthers, as the ACC school's campus will now be the site for next weekend's College Gameday.
ESPN announced on Sunday afternoon that Pitt jumped into the Top 25, meaning next weekend's game will be a clash between two ranked teams, which was likely the deciding factor.
