Notre Dame’s Dominant Season Ahead | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

Notre Dame’s home opener against Rice is shaping up to be a runaway victory, with ESPN’s FPI giving the Irish a 99% win probability — up from last week’s 96.8%. While Rice brings a different offensive style, Notre Dame’s talent edge makes this one of the season’s biggest mismatches. The computer also projects a 10-2 record and a 76% shot at the College Football Playoff, with a 20% chance at the National Championship game and over 10% to win it all — putting them on par with Texas and Ohio State. But remember: these models are early-season guesses, and even Notre Dame’s dominant win over Wisconsin saw their championship odds dip slightly due to Miami’s massive upset. Still, for Saturday’s game? Expect a blowout. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
