One College Football Playoff projection has game Notre Dame fans want
For nearly three years, there is one matchup Notre Dame fans have been clamoring for. They felt jilted the moment Brian Kelly abruptly left for LSU, and they want the Irish to prove to him that he was wrong to ditch them. One College Football Playoff projection would provide that opportunity. The Athletic released its early playoff projection, and it has the Irish as the eighth seed, hosting the Tigers at Notre Dame Stadium. If this happened, Irish fans would be out for blood and would make life absolutely miserable for Kelly and his team. Combined with the cold temperatures, the result could be as intense an atmosphere as there’s ever been in South Bend. Obviously, there’s a long way to go before this can become reality. For now, the mere thought of the Irish sticking it to Kelly is enough to get fans excited. Let’s see it come to pass.
