ICYMI: My feature on Jeremiyah Love. I cover how the nation's best running back is handling the hype, and why his private trainer, @CoachWebb_KO, believes Love could have a similar season to Reggie Bush's 2005 Heisman campaign. https://t.co/LLwzRRfEvp

My little brother passed away 10 years ago. He would’ve loved that I picked Notre Dame. Chad, love you buddy! @PlayersTribune

After watching him be so tough, my context of what is truly hard is very different.

Marcus Freeman says Jaden Greathouse is healthy enough to play, but the goal is to preserve his redshirt. "If we don't have to play him, it would give him another year... We want to be able to do that." "If we have to put him in the game, then we will."

Here is Notre Dame's Thursday availability update. The only difference is that Jaden Greathouse is no longer questionable, but Marcus Freeman said on Monday that they'll seriously consider redshirting him this season Greathouse has already played in four games this season.

Notre Dame is well-positioned to return to the College Football Playoffs after landing at No. 9 in Tuesday’s ranking release. Here’s what the new CFP committee chair, Hunter Yurachek, had to say...

The worst part about the weekly CFP rankings is everyone spends the final month of the season angrier than ever about one thing (Notre Dame-Miami now, Indiana last year) instead of talking about big, meaningful games. It’s exhausting. Let’s enjoy Saturdays!!

Why do people insist on doing this? Box score exist. The game was on TV. Trying to tell people that 3-point game we watched was an ass kicking is silly. ND averaged 5.4 ypp. Miami 4.7 It was a close game. Miami was mostly better. Win expectancy was about 64 percent.
@ralphDrussoATH I’ve seen so much revisionist history of that nd Miami game it’s insane. Miami whooped their ass in the trenches for 60 minutes. A slump from Miami doesn’t make me think ND is clearly the better team

All four quarters count.
@ralphDrussoATH Can you honestly say you watched the game and thought Notre dame had a prayer to win until the 4th quarter?

CFP committee chair Hunter Yurachek addresses why one-loss BYU is behind three two-loss teams, including No. 9 Notre Dame: "It's the way they looked in that game against Texas Tech. They were dominated on both sides of the ball."

Notre Dame and Miami also have four common opponents. CFP committee chair Hunter Yurachek says they could look at those. "Common opponents are one of the data points we use when comparing teams." However, Notre Dame and Miami aren't currently in the same tier for comparison.

CFP committee chair Hunter Yurachek reiterates that Miami's win over Notre Dame doesn't give the Hurricanes an advantage over the Irish because they're not in the same tier. "Miami and Notre Dame have not been grouped into the same pool to have that head-to-head comparison."

I told @AndrewMentock earlier this weekend that #NotreDame would be ahead of Alabama in the @CFBPlayoff rankings this week and I was right.
The CFP Rankings this week (and specifically #NotreDame and #Alabama’s place in them) will reveal which matters more: wins or losses. @AndrewMentock told me the committee said pre-season that wins matter more. We’ll see how it plays out this week!
