So, in other words, Notre Dame isn't a very good team right now.
WHAT IF THE UTAH-USC GAME HAD BEEN A HORSE RACE? Remember when people who bet on Utah +8.5 were about to cash their tickets, but then the Pac-12 made four administration decisions in a row which resulted in the loser being turned in the winner? The. fix. is. on.
