Notre Dame is 12-0 and going to the College Football Playoff.

With the win on Saturday night, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish finished a perfect regular season.  Something that many people and especially the Notre Dame haters out there which there are many, thought was impossible.  With the schedule that was put in front of them at the beginning of the year, I didn't really know if they would be able to do it. With names like Michigan, Virginia Tech, Stanford, Syracuse, Flordia State, and USC all on the schedule. After the big big win against Michigan on the first night of the season, I had hope that it was possible. Then they just started rattling off wins and they were rolling.  The really only game they had struggled with all year was the game against Pitt but good teams always find a way to win games even if its ugly. The Irish just kept racking up wins and the playoff became a much more realistic idea as we got later in the year. It's one of the hardest things for a Notre Dame team that plays the schedule it does to do what they did this year.

But with all that said the season is not over yet. Notre Dame will play in one of the college football semifinals game on December 29. As of right now, the Irish would play Clemson in South Beach in Miami Florida.  That's what I see happening as well because I don't see Alabama losing this weekend because as of tonight the rankings were 1. Alabama 2. Clemson 3. Notre Dame 4.Georgia 5. Oklahoma 6. Ohio State.  There is a fight for the 4th spot in the playoff because Alabama and Georgia play each other this week so one of those spots will be up for grab. But with all this being said I honestly do think Notre Dame has a realistic chance at winning a National Championship. I think that they match up with Clemson very nicely. Then Alabama would be another story but anything is possible. Anyway, Go Irish!
