Friends, we’re coming up on the home stretch.
66.66666666666666666666667% of the season is complete, and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 8-0 and are ranked #4 in the country after last night’s initial 2018 College Football Playoff committee rankings.
Now, the Irish face down a 4-game stretch that, in the preseason, seemed somewhat daunting for reasons that are now the opposite. A November tilt against the Florida State Seminoles and a season finale at the USC Trojans seemed like the dangerous games that could lead to ND losses, but with how the 2018 season has shaped up, road/neutral games against the Northwestern Wildcats and Syracuse Orange actually look to be the toughest remaining tests for the Irish.
