A look at games today that may interest Irish Fans.

#10 Michigan State vs. #2 Ohio State.  The only loss this year for the Spartans was against Notre Dame.  A Michigan State win makes the Irish look a little better this season.

#17 Oklahoma vs. #6 Oklahoma State.  A win over the #6 one loss OSU helps the Sooners look better making the loss for the Irish a bit better.

#25 Texas vs. #9 Baylor.  A Texas loss could back Notre Dame into the Top 25.

#7 Stanford vs. #11 Arizona State.  Either way it can be spun to make the Irish look good; a Cardinal will fortifies their greatness making the Notre Dame close loss seem like a good showing, a Sun Devil victory moves them up higher in the rankings, another top team the Irish beat this season.

Unranked Utah State (8-4, 7-1MW) vs. #23 Fresno State.  Like the Texas game a Bull dogs loss Notre Dame could back into the Top 25.

South Florida (2-9) vs. Rutgers 5-6.  A Scarlett Knights win makes them bowl eligible and a possibility for an Irish opponent in the Pinstripe Bowl.
