The Anti-Preview: #16 Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS Virginia Tech Hokies

Okay, so as it turned out... the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will not make the college football playoff this season. While there was still a good amount of hope after the loss to Georgia, last weekend’s “showing” smacked all of us in the face with a healthy dose of reality.

At 5-2 and ranked #16 in the country, however, the Irish still have a really good chance at winning out and making a New Years 6 bowl game (the Cotton Bowl). That means this team still has a lot to play for in their eyes — even if a lot of its fanbase believed the season was over during halftime of the Michigan game.
