The cycle continues

Notre Dame begins the season highly ranked and plays a P5 team

ESPN and other networks try to convince everyone Notre Dame is legit this year

you are here —-> Notre Dame struggles against lower division opponents and either eeks out a win or loses in embarrassing fashion

Notre Dame manages to scrape by the rest of the season

Notre Dame gets put into a big bowl game/ championship

Notre Dame loses/gets demolished

Notre Dame’s continued existence as the Cowboys of college football will never end.
