Notre Dame bowl projections through seven weeks
Sitting at 5-1 Notre Dame comes off their bye week for a Saturday night date with their biggest rival in the 3-3 USC Trojans. Although flawed, Notre Dame figures to have at least as much talent as their six remaining opponents, none of which are currently ranked.
So how will the second half of 2021 go for Notre Dame and where might the Irish end up going bowling?
If things go according to a few of these outlet’s plans, Notre Dame and an old rival could be meeting in the postseason for the first time ever.
Here is what the nationwide bowl projections see coming for Notre Dame this week:
