POST SPRING RANKINGS ARE VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF NOTRE DAME
I’m not sure how many times I need to say it, but Notre Dame’s Blue-Gold game mattered very little to the grand scheme of things. “No duh,” you say? Well, yeah. It still amazes me that there are still some people out there that are docking the Irish for a vanilla performance on that day, and a CJ Carr showing that was very forgettable. It was a spring game. They really (really) need to make podcast equipment much more expensive. Two guys with podcast equipment and a large audience to preach to, aren’t on the list of spring overreactors, are Joel Klatt and Josh Pate. They have the Irish as No. 2 and No. 1 respectively coming out of spring ball.
