Wake Up The Echoes
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are the number one college football team in the nation. They've been mediocre for so long that their ascension to the top of the college football mountain seems awkward. Due to Alabama, Kansas State, and Oregon losing games that they should have won, Notre Dame's rise in the polls was an inevitability.
Notre Dame has USC left on the schedule. They have a good shot at winning that game due to the injury today suffered by USC QB Matt Barkley (You think he regrets staying an extra year?).
For now, Irish fans can gloat, but let's not forget about the Alabama Crimson Tide. If they win out, there will be a Roll Tide vs. Notre Dame national championship game. Alabama head coach Nick Saban will not let them waste an opportunity to play in the national championship game. Teams that are stocked full of NFL talent that happen to be well-coached tend to not waste second chances at football glory.
The college football powers that be would love it if two of the most storied programs in their history were to duke it out for all of the marbles. As long as both teams win out, college football fans will see this game take place.
Enjoy the next few weeks Irish fans because the big game will be here before you know it.
