Josh On Notre Dame
“I think they would need to be at 10 and two. They wouldn't make the playoff. And that's losing Brigham Young. And that's losing definitively.”
“If they lose one, there's no way they're not in. There's no way. If they lose two, I still find it honestly difficult to think that they don't get in.”
“The number one game in the country that I'd want to take anyone to this year, though, is Miami at Notre Dame.”
“I picked Miami at Notre Dame, but you could go Oklahoma, Florida. You could go Penn State, Washington, Virginia Tech, SMU.”
