Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame silence doubters by knocking off top-ranked Miami, solidifying their CFP ranking
Notre Dame defeated the top-ranked Miami Hurricanes 31-24 in a highly anticipated college football matchup. The game remained competitive until the final seconds when a potential game-tying pass by Miami was swatted away.
Why it matters
The victory significantly impacts the College Football Playoff rankings and shifts the landscape of the current college football season.
After spending five days as the No. 1 team in the country, it was No. 11 Notre Dame that handed the Miami Hurricanes its first loss of the season in the highly anticipated showdown that has been circled for the past year. Is there an elite team in college football this season? We thought this would turn into an instant classic, based off the history between these two teams that goes back to the "Catholics vs. Convicts" showdown in the '80s.
