Notre Dame is the lone favorite for the 2026-27 season National Championship on FanDuel.
To put this in perspective, FanDuel had Notre Dame at +900 to win the natty when we were considered playoff locks before the playoff committee robbery.
After four years, Marcus Freeman has completely reshaped the talent profile of this team.
Now let’s see what we can do.
Go Irish! ☘️
I’m keeping every receipt.
Way too many people talk about Notre Dame football without actually understanding it. No real knowledge. No context. Just noise.
That’s fine.
Next year will expose a lot of bad takes. Film doesn’t lie. Results don’t lie. And a lot of folks are gonna look real foolish standing on opinions they never earned.
I’ll remember who said what.
Let’s see how it plays out. #GoIrish☘️
Notre Dame fans = unreasonable and entitled.
A&M fans = hopeful, mostly polite.
OSU fans = pompous, dismissive, cocky.
But all three have at least earned a seat at the table.
Indiana fans? So far just an unbelievably awful bunch. Zero respect. Blatant ignorance. Low IQ and EQ. Gross people man.
Act like they can take over a party they’ve never been to, while being the least cool guy in the room.
Indiana’s stadium attendance averaged 21% from the year 2000 to 2023.
These fans do not love college football they’re bandwagon fans who just started watching the sport.
This is very bad for college football.
Totally unnecessary for @espn to start its flagship show the night of a College Football Playoff national semifinal by taking a shot at Notre Dame, which hasn’t played a game game in six weeks and has very much moved into the offseason.

Two things can be true
1) Miami has been on one hell of a playoff run and has absolutely earned the right to play for it all
2) It goes without saying if Notre Dame had been afforded the same opportunity with a similar or the same seed, this would be possible for the Irish too
