College Gameday at Cuse/ND is a legitimate possibility

Obviously a lot of things have to happen...

We have to win at Wake, a game that we could absolutely lose if we don't play well, and then have a relatively manageable home game vs. Louisville.

Notre Dame has to win at Northwestern at night, which I see as a very competitive game, and then beat a mediocre Florida State team at home.

If all this pans out, it would be Top 3 10-0 Notre Dame vs. 8-2 #15ish Syracuse. There are absolutely no other big matchups that weekend. That's the second-to-last weekend that the SEC always takes off to play FCS teams.

I'm envisioning Gameday either outside Yankee Stadium or in Times Square -- that would be extremely cool.

Beat Wake!

That would be pretty awesome

As someone else rightly pointed out yesterday, this would amount to ABC promoting an NBC football game. Might be a tough hurdle.

It has to be, assuming both teams win their next two games. Literally no other interesting game on the schedule that weekend. I was a little surprised ESPN was in Jacksonville for Gators/Dawgs considering the game was on CBS, so I think they have to consider ND/Cuse

True, unless of course ABC/ESPN/Disney wants to get the Irish to sign the TV contract with them next go-around?

Long shot, but it might be worth a try.

Gameday will be at Bama/LSU on Saturday which will be on CBS.

Also, Gameday was at ND/Michigan opening weekend which was an NBC game.

Fair enough. Not out of the question, just don't think it's a factor in our favor.

Boom

Texas losing helped here too as they host Iowa State that weekend. Okie State hosts WVU that weekend as well. So be interesting to see how all four of those teams fair the next two weeks.

need 2 wins to make it worthy. need to get over the hump

got over the nc st hump
got over the FSU hump
got over the clem hump
got over the 4-5 win hump
won a road game

a few more to go

need to win a conf road game and get over the Wake hump
need to have a 6 win home game season.
win a game as a ranked team hump just popped up like a pot hole
win a bowl game

wake is a pain.. a hurricane and blow a huge lead loss.. losing 3 in a row to them would hurt.
