Not sure I can remember a more important SOS day than today

Seven games with two ranked teams playing each other, and five of them include ND opponents.

I agree. Lots to keep our eyes on. Our SOS could take a major hit today under worse case scenario.

100% agree. It's a big day for ND. Realistically who do we think can get a Win?

Penn State @ Mich St- I'll say PSU wins
Clemson @ NC State- I'll go with Clemson
Stanford @ Washington St- I'll say the Cardinal
VT @ Miami- I say VT
Zona @ USC- Think USC wins

So that would be 2-3 in the games we will have a close eye on. If we can get one of those other 3 to win and have it be 3-2 in those games I'll be happy. In order id say Miami getting the win is biggest because that then gives ND another chance at a statement win on the field vs a top 10 team on the ROAD. After that I say NC State getting the win, then Mich St. Gonna be a fun day. Go Irish!!!

Don't forget South Carolina vs. Georgia. I don't think USC has much of a shot but they always play Georgia tough.

MSU losing tp PSU, and NCST losing to Clemson will not hurt our SOS as they are both underdogs. As long as they are not complete blowouts. Stanford/WSU is a toss up but obviously we would like Stanford to win. Same goes for VT/Miami. If GA loses to South Carolina, that may really hurt us.

Agree with Crab. More important that the Irish just keep doing their thing - play strong, complete game and win by 2-3 TD’s and we’re fine. But nothing wrong with MSU pulling it out or NC State pulling off the shocker!
