Meanwhile, the Syracuse Orange pulled off a remarkable upset against the No. 6 Miami Hurricanes, proving that anything can happen in college sports.
On the horizon, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish gear up for the 2024 football season. After finishing with an impressive record of 10-3 in 2023, Notre Dame is setting its sights high, aiming to reach the College Football Playoffs for the first time since 2020. Currently, they hold a solid No. 5 ranking in the College Football Playoff standings.
Last season, the Fighting Irish managed to stay in the AP top 25 despite stumbling against an unranked Clemson in early November.
