Noting Notre Dame: Notre Dame has won eight games in a row by an average margin of 32.3 points per game. The Fighting Irish are a couple more wins of any kind — they don’t have to be dominant — from likely hosting a first-round College Football Playoff game. There might not be many teams, if any, in college football playing better football, but…
Noting Army: …Army might be one of them. The Black Knights have won 13 games in a row, the longest current streak in the FBS, and have only trailed one time all season. Army has one of the worst strengths of schedule in the nation, however. Notre Dame is Army’s first Power Four foe of the season. It’ll be a true litmus test for the Black Knights in the Bronx.
