The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team have had a very interesting 2022 season. They were 3-3 after going 0-2 to start which made it obvious that this year wasn’t going to end in the College Football Playoff. However, they have won five straight and are looking for a strong finish.
They have their rivalry game against USC on Saturday which is a great test to end the regular season. They already shook up the landscape of the College Football Playoff a few weeks ago when they defeated Clemson and now they are trying to do that to USC.
Unfortunately, there is a new story developing that might really annoy Notre Dame fans. As of the most recent College Football Playoff ranking, LSU is ranked at number five which is just outside the four that would play in the tournament. They only trail Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, and TCU for the top spots.
Of course, this would annoy Notre Dame fans because of the fact that Brian Kelly is their head coach. He surprisingly left Notre Dame ahead of their bowl game last season to join LSU. It was a wild move that left a sour taste in a lot of people’s mouths.
LSU is one spot ahead of USC which is Notre Dame’s next opponent. This is notable because the Tigers have two losses as opposed to USC’s one loss.
On Saturday, LSU hosts Texas A&M which should be a win for them. The problem is that Michigan plays Ohio State as well so one of them is going to drop out. That will bump LSU into a playoff spot by the time the rankings come out.
The good news is that LSU will then play Georgia in the SEC Championship game the following week. There will be a lot of Notre Dame people rooting for Georgia to beat LSU so that they can be eliminated from making the playoff.
Brian Kelly is an outstanding recruiter and coach so you know that they are only going to get better but Notre Dame fans are never going to enjoy it. It will surely be interesting to see how it all plays out.
