What’s your pick for this game?
Notre Dame and Oregon State will face each other in a Sun Bowl that already is giving a real boost to the economy of El Paso, Texas. The least these teams can do is give the locals a thriller in a sold-out stadium. With so many regulars on both sides missing, that might happen purely on accident. This will be a must-watch.
There are plentiful predictions for this game. Here are some of them:
Who are you picking?
Notre Dame has one game left, and it’s against Stanford. There’s no telling exactly how much a win will improve the type of bowl the Irish get, but they doesn’t mean they want to win this game any less. At the very least, it will be the last game for any players who wish to opt out of the bowl game for whatever reason. So this could be the last of the 2023 Irish as we know them.

See who thinks the Irish have a chance.
Notre Dame really needs to find a way to beat USC. The national title hopes are gone, but this could be key in determining the direction of the program. Win, and everything will seem fine, at least for one night. Lose, and even more questions will be raised.

Do you expected the one-sidedness of this rivalry to continue?
Notre Dame is facing longtime rival Navy in Ireland in Week 0 of the 2023 college football season. It only makes sense that we begin our series of football Saturdays with a matchup that goes back nearly a century with only one interruption. The people of the Emerald Isle will see this game on their turf for the third time, so they should know what to expect by now.

What’s your prediction for this game?
Notre Dame has a chance to end its season on a high note. However, the 2022 Gator Bowl might not be so easy without [autotag]Michael Mayer[/autotag] and with [autotag]Tyler Buchner[/autotag] trying to shake the rust of three-and-a-half months missed because of an injury.

Can the Irish pull off the upset?
Had Notre Dame not played Ohio State to start the season, we’d be saying Clemson is providing its toughest test of 2022. It could be just as tough though since the Tigers are in the first College Football Playoff rankings. Will it be as tough as it appears to be on paper, or do we have a close thriller in store?

Finally, there is enough interest in Notre Dame that people are predicting one of its games again. Still, it’s worth wondering if it would be happening this week were Syracuse not ranked. You have to hate that we’re having this discussion, but alas.
