We made it. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are very much alive in the race for the college football playoff. That race was very much in the air last week when the Irish hosted Miami, but Notre Dame passed the test — and now it’s on to a different kind of test over these next three games.
The first of the final trilogy is an old foe who has stuck a knife into Notre Dame and twisted it a number of times, the Boston College Eagles.
Boston College is a bad football team.
WHAT SHOULD YOU BE EATING?
Dunkin
It’s late, and you got things
to do. Just grab some Dunkin Donuts.
WHAT SHOULD YOU BE DRINKING?
I mean… there’s only one drink that goes with donuts (other than coffee) and that’s the ancient honey liqueur that is Irish Mist.

THREE OTHER GAMES
It’s not the so-called “separation Saturday” but there are a lot of interesting games this week, and a large amount of them have direct impact on the CFP.
Here are the three games you should pay the closest attention to on Saturday (or whenever they can play).
Wake Forest Demon Deacons VS SMU Mustangs — NOON
Michigan Wolverines VS Oregon Ducks — 3:30 PM
Arizona Wildcats VS Utah Utes — 10:30 PM
I’m not sure that SMU will have a number next to its name if they beat Wake Forest and travel to Notre Dame, but it would be nice. Michigan and Oregon are playing to make this a TERRIBLE season for both, and I’m here for that. Maybe the biggest one for Notre Dame to watch is out west with Arizona and Utah… like is this game for real?

PREDICTION
I keep saying that this game will either look like the Stanford game from this year, or the Boston College game from last year. Notre Dame is going to win, but how — and how good does it look. I’m not worried about rankings or the committee, but I do want to know how the Irish handle a little success.
I choose the blowout. Notre Dame does a better job this week of getting ready for its opponent rather than extending the Miami celebration. CJ Carr has a Heisman to win, and the offense gets lethal.
