Notre Dame is still just 2-2 on the 2022 season after their dominating performance at North Carolina this weekend but with eight games still to go there is plenty to play for even if the College Football Playoff and New Year’s Six are off the table.
Is Notre Dame certain to go bowling at all this year? How likely are they to win eight or more games? Both seem a lot more likely following the 45-32 victory in Chapel Hill that can simply be described as better.
I’m in a love-hate relationship with ESPN’s FPI. I say it almost weekly but it’s true. It takes emotion out of it’s rankings and uses all mathematical formulas to rank all FBS teams 1-131 weekly. However, it seems to lack when it comes to teams that manage to regularly find ways to lose or sneak out wins.
