* All times are Central Time Zone

Teams highlighted in RED are teams I believe ND fans should be rooting for this week to improve ND’s possible seeding in the CFP.

Friday Night
8:00 - UCLA @ Washington - FOX - should be competitive

Morning Games (Saturday)
11:00 - #3 Texas @ Arkansas - ABC - upset chance here, which could effect ND’s seeding down the road depending on how other games play out
11:00 - Utah @ #17 Colorado - FOX - Will Colorado make it to their conference championship?
11:00 - #20 Clemson @ Pittsburgh - ESPN - Should be competitive, but no bearing on the CFP
11:00 - #25 Tulane @ Navy - ESPN2 - Would love to have Navy be ranked again for our SoS.

Afternoon Games (Saturday)
2:30 - Virginia @ #8 Notre Dame - NBC - Go Irish!!!
2:30 - #19 Louisville @ Stanford - ACCN - Louisville needs to keep winning as they are our second best win.
2:30 - #22 LSU @ Florida - ABC - Ill be rooting for Florida!
2:30 - Boston College @ #14 SMU - ESPN - Only because SMU is in play
3:00 - Nebraska @ USC - FOX - wouldn’t mind seeing USC squeak out some victories, the computers really like USC which helps ND
3:15 - #23 Missouri @ #21 South Carolina - SECN - inconsequential ranked v ranked match-up, should be close

Evening Games (Saturday)
6:30 - #1 Oregon @ Wisconsin - NBC - Wisconsin could pull the upset, not too optimistic though
6:30 - #7 Tennessee @ #12 Georgia - ABC - Big match-up of the day, I personally think a UGA win helps ND the most.

Late Night Games (Saturday)
9:15 - Kansas @ #7 BYU - ESPN - Kansas has been pretty good lately, upset is possible

Sorry, let me add one other game to check on; it will probably be a boring game, but may factor into ND’s seeding at the end of the year

2:30 - #4 Penn State @ Purdue - CBS

PSU is overrated and has no business being ahead of ND. I am not delusional to think Purdue will upset them, but I would love to see an ugly win. At the end of the year, ND and PSU are likely to be ranked next to each other and I think ND can jump PSU, here is why:

• ND has 2 ranked wins (may possibly get another), PSU will have 0 (no shot of getting any)

• They will have a common opponent, on the road at Purdue (ND demolished them 66-7)

• They will have another common opponent, on the road at USC (PSU had a comeback OT victory 33-30)

• PSU has not passed the eye test in most of their wins

No need to watch it, but definitely a score ND fans should check on.

I’m hopeful that Georgia can beat Tennessee and help ND inch up the rankings. This is essentially a playoff elimination game for Georgia if they lose. It is at Georgia. Tennessee’s starting quarterback left the game last week with a concussion. He is probable to start but may be a little off his best.

I don’t know, I feel like I would rather see Tennessee win and leave no path back in whatsoever for Georgia. I mean if I had it my way, in a perfect world, Georgia would beat Tennessee and then lose to Georgia Tech. Tennessee would lose to Georgia and Vanderbilt to knock both out. Not sure I see all of that happening though.

I’ll be a Bulldog fan Saturday for sure. A Wisconsin win would be sweet but wouldn’t affect ND

Of course, none of it matters if UVA pulls off the upset. Just have to win these next two games.

This perfect world is what I’m really hoping for! 🙏🏼

A lot of great games again this week!

Friday: UCLA @ Washington, because who wouldn’t love to see an ol’ PAC-12 game!

Saturday -

Morning: Texas @ Arkansas, Utah @ Colorado, and Tulane @ Navy. Would love to see Texas lose another, Colorado to keep winning, and Navy I hope they win the rest of their games.

Afternoon: Go Irish!!!

Evening: Oregon @ Wisconsin, and Tennessee @ Georgia. It would be oh so great for Oregon to lose, along with Georgia.

Late Night: Kansas @ BYU, and let’s hope BYU loses this one like they should have to Utah last week! 🤞🏼

Again, Go Irish!!!

I think an Oregon upset would help down the stretch as it would weaken the Oregon/Ohio State situation.

Texas-Arkansas. I think Texas is a bit overrated. Pulling for Arkansas in this one.

Utah-Colorado. Hoping for Utah to win but they are not a good team this year. I think the buffs take this.

Clemson-Pittsburgh. Always anti Narduzzi and Pitt. Taking and wanting Clemson to win.

Tulane-Navy. Yes, go Navy.

LSU-Florida. Yes, go Florida.

Boston College-SMU. Really don’t know much of anything about SMU. BC is not bad this year, hope they can pull the upset.

Nebraska-USC. Would be good for USC to win a few games down the stretch, but really would rather see Nebraska take this.

Oregon-Wisky. Just can’t see the Badgers pulling the upset, though I hope they do.

Tenn-Georgia. Would rather see Tenn lose to help ND, but it’s difficult to pull for either of these teams.

Kansas-BYU. Kansas has been playing much better the past few games and I think they can take this one. Hope so anyways.

And of course, pulling for ND over Virginia.

I don’t get how you guys think Tennessee losing helps ND. All it does is invite Georgia back into the top 12 and drop Tenn to probably #10-#11. A Tennessee win drops Georgia out for good. I prefer that scenario.

Pitt ties Clemson at 17 midway through the 4th.

Navy flopped again today, 35-0 loss.

Pitt just got a turnover on downs with about 4 mins left in the 4th at about midfield.

Pitt in the redzone under two mins to play

Pitt kicks 47yd FG to go up 20-17 with under 2 mins in the 4th.

You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me. Clemson goes three plays and scores a td with just over a minute left. 24-20.
