Schule's 10* NCAAF "LUCK OF THE IRISH" - *VERY EARLY"
(NCAAF) Notre Dame vs. Pittsburgh, 11/07/2015 7:00 AM, Score: 42 - 30
Point Spread: 10.00 | -115.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Pittsburgh Panthers.

The College Football Playoff Committee came out with their first Top 10 Ranking this week, and the results were a little shocking. They have the Irish ranked above undefeated BIG12 teams Baylor and TCU in the #5 slot. Notre Dame just barely escaped from Philly with a 24-20 win over Temple on Saturday, in a game that they trailed for most of the fourth quarter. Clemson somehow ended up in the #1 slot, and perhaps that also works in favor of the Irish, who's only loss was on the road versus the Tigers. That game was nowhere near as close as the 24-22 score would indicate, as the Irish trailed 21-3 heading into the fourth quarter, but rallied to score 19 points. They've only played three games on the road so far, and both of their wins were of the "come from behind" variety. They still have two more tough road games at Pittsburgh and Stanford, and it seems highly unlikely that they'll be able to run the table with that schedule.

Take PIT.
