Notre Dame football stands on the brink of its first national championship since 1988 and nothing seems right in the world, except everything makes sense

Notre Dame has had an array of injuries in 2024 but that hasn't stopped the Fighting Irish from plowing forward and advancing to Monday night's national championship game against Ohio State. The latest few injuries have involved the offensive line and caused a bit of a fire drill entering the championship round.

Notre Dame’s athletic director said “I think there’s a chance” there will be tweaks to the way the College Football Playoff awards byes next year — an issue that will be discussed this weekend but that would need unanimous approval from the 10 conferences and the Fighting Irish.
