Pete Bevacqua isn't entertaining this nonsense and USC knows it. Trojans are playing media games at this point to limit the fall-out

Marcus Freeman has taken ND to Elo heights not seen since the days of Ara Parshegian. Will he be able to pay it off and end the Irish's national title drought?

game felt way tighter thanks to a combo of ND red zone misses, penalties, and SC explosive passes. But Irish dominated down to down.

This is a really good article if you don't know anything about the history of Notre Dame & Michigan, or ask why the Clemson scheduling agreement came about, and think the right compromise = one side just doing what the other wants

so weird that everyone is calling the side that has lost 7 of 8 in a historic rivalry and wants to move the game because they can't contend in their new conference chicken!

USC Review: -the final score could have been so much worse for the Trojans -OL dominance set up Love & Price's historic days on a day CJ Carr didn't have it -I owe Chris Ash an apology -Don't take a break now when bad blood is peaking and SC has villains open.substack.com/pub/spreadshee…

Uncharacteristic for this not to be a strength of the ND defense. Was improving after the defensive struggles first games, not great vs the Trojans: Miami: 4/9 (44%) A&M: 3/8 (38%) Purdue: 1/4 (25%) Arkansas: 0/3 (0%) Boise St: 1/8 (13%) NC State: 2/9 (22%) USC: 4/7 (57%)

If you like my content, you should be thankful for Notre Dame/Boston College! Why? There is likely no KFord Ratings without FEI. There is likely no FEI without 2002 Notre Dame vs Boston College Shoutout to one of the Godfathers, Brian Fremeau - congrats on an Irish victory☘️

The CFP committee does a lot of dumb talking in the media with weekly rankings but by the end of season has a really high hit rate. Rankings tonight nail a balance between making sure wins and losses matter and adjusting for schedules / using advanced power rankings.

wait so the ND rankings is "vibes" or "brand" instead of metrics or resume, but the metrics are unanimously saying the Irish are a top-10 team if not better? the "resume" argument only makes sense if you view as basic as possible - best win, SOS, ignoring HOW you won / lost

1) Rhett wouldn’t like the computer version either 2) one of the worst parts of being in a conference has to be lowering yourself to do this media work and gas up Miami, Louisville, and UVA (miraculously undefeated / power rated behind Arkansas)

You could pretty much do this with any team’s schedule. Ohio State (good football team imo) has one win over a Big Ten team with a winning record in the conference.
