Preseason bowl projections: Hurricane warning for Notre Dame?
As the college football regular season inches closer and closer, we’ve been getting hit with more and more preseason predictions and projections for how just about every one of the 131 Football Bowl Subdivision programs will do. The latest is a set of bowl projections for every bowl game this season from veteran college football scribe Bill Bender of The Sporting News.
Bender sends Notre Dame to a bowl game we’ve seen several outlets project the Irish to already, but the opponent Bender projects is about as compelling a potential bowl opponent as there could be for the Irish, short of it being someone in the College Football Playoff.
Bill Bender’s Notre Dame Bowl Projection:
Orange Bowl – December 30, 2022
Notre Dame vs. Miami (FL)
If Notre Dame isn’t playing in the College Football Playoff (which I’m not sold on to be frank), then go ahead and sign me up for this one. The disaster that was the 2017 game at Miami, where the Irish were obliterated, 41-8, still leaves a bad taste in any Notre Dame fan’s mouth.
And whenever you put Notre Dame and Miami in the same sentence, the collective antenna of college football fans everywhere is raised.
