The regular season has come to an end for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and it was perfect. At 10-0 overall and 9-0 in ACC play, the Irish have proved themselves to be one of the best teams in the country, and find themselves ranked #2 for the 5th week in a row by both the AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll.
It was a slow path, but the Irish gradually moved up the rankings as their wins stacked up during the season. It was the win over then #1 Clemson just a month ago that first saw the Irish get to #2, and they’ve done nothing to relinquish that ranking since.
