Who are you picking?
It’s a shame that Notre Dame and Navy couldn’t play last year. However, that’s in the past, and the present looks slightly better.

Let’s look at what some college football experts, including those on the Wire sites, are predicting for this game:
Which team are you picking?
Going into the season, Saturday’s game between Notre Dame and North Carolina was hyped up one to watch. Instead, there is less attention on this game now the Irish aren’t a lock for the College Football Playoff and the Tar Heels have not performed up to preseason expectations.

What do you think happens as this rivalry is renewed?
One of college football’s biggest rivalries will return Saturday after a one-year absence. On one side, you have Notre Dame trying to stay relevant as some experts believe it still has an outside shot at the College Football Playoff (yeah right).

Will Marcus Freeman’s unit be able to outperform the defense he helped to shape when he was with the Bearcats? Will whoever is starting at quarterback for the Irish have a difficult time with that defense?
