))HERE'S! LIVE™！）Penn State vs Notre Dame Live Ncaa College Football Game 09 January 2025

There’s an argument that can be made that the Irish are the hottest team in college football right now. Yes — I know all about the Ohio State Buckeyes and what they’re up to, but Notre Dame currently has the nation’s longest winning streak. It’s just a number (12) but it’s part of a larger story about Notre Dame Football this season.

The Irish have won 12 straight since the loss to NIU — one of the lowest days of the program over the last 30 years. The 12th win, however, was against the SEC Champion in the Sugar Bowl — the BEST day in over 30 years of the program.

Marcus Freeman has a plan and a vision for this program, and now that the semifinals of the CFP are finally here... they might as well win.
