Notre Dame

On Friday night, No. 10 Notre Dame received some big help for its College Football Playoff chances on Friday night when Boise State beat UNLV 38-31 in front of 27,152 fans at Albertsons Stadium to claim the Mountain West championship.

The Irish beat the Broncos 28-7 on Oct. 4, meaning ND has a win on its resume of a conference champion.

On Saturday, the Fighting Irish needed a couple more things to go their way. With No. 9 Alabama (10-2) playing No. 3 Georgia, Notre Dame needs the Crimson Tide to get boat raced by the Bulldogs in the SEC championship.

The Irish also needed N0. 4 Texas Tech to beat No. 11 BYU in the Big 12 championship, making sure the Big 12 only got one team in the CFP.

ND received luck early on Saturday, with the Red Raiders dominating the Cougars 34-7 in front of 85,519 fans at AT&T Stadium. It was the first Big 12 championship for TTU.

The Irish were essentially out if BYU won. However, with Texas Tech’s win, ND has a 85 percent chance of making the CFP now that the Cougars lost.

Of course, No. 12 Miami could move up to No. 11 after BYU’s poor showing against TTU. The CFP selection committee might have to take the head-to-head result from Week 1 into consideration. As we all know, the Hurricanes beat Notre Dame 27-24 in Miami (not exactly a neutral field).

The Irish faithful will pulling for one more miracle on Saturday afternoon. They need Georgia to win by multiple touchdowns against the Crimson Tide.

The Tide won the first matchup of the season 24-21 in Athens on Sept. 27.
