I know a lot of it is because we are Notre Dame Football fans, but it really feels like the majority of the college football conversation over the past week is the absolute unhinged reaction to what the college football playoff will look like next season. Notre Dame hand picks the easiest schedule in CFB every year. Notre Dame is always overrated. I think the thing most people are really upset about isn’t even Notre Dame in itself. Personally, I always try to stay away from saying some of the cheesy stuff that flows out of the mouths of Notre Dame fans, but there’s no other real way to explain it sometimes.
