Hello and welcome back to the G5 Top Ten! We had some shakeup, but it seems like we're settling in to there being eight teams in two tiers, with those last two teams seemingly rotating. Let's continue on to see who I thought was deserving of those spots this week. Also Considered: Toledo, James Madison, [...]
My guess is that if you're over the age of 30 this weekend's game for Notre Dame was simply Navy things. No big deal. Playing in this rivalry every damn year we've seen so many variations of gritty Navy coming back and hanging around to make things close. The veterans among us were probably bored [...]
I guess that was a win. Notre Dame won 35-32. I think. My head exploded at some point during the fourth quarter and I spent the final few minutes of the game picking it up and gluing it back together. The Irish more or less dominated the first half, although it wasn't until the final [...]
Folks, gather around for another game preview of the Navy Midshipmen. In keeping with tradition, this will be my shortest and most concise game preview of the season because, well, Navy is not very exciting and there isn't much to talk about. At this point, it's safe to say Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo is [...]
Your weekly dose of Notre Dame news, opinion, and other stuff. Top News Notre Dame wide receiver Joe Wilkins announced on Monday that he'll enter the transfer portal. The former 2018 recruit finishes his Irish career with 11 receptions and 2 touchdowns. Notre Dame was named the Cheez-It Bowl National Team of the Week following [...]
It was a good time to visit Notre Dame if you're a cornerback. So it happened for Karson Hobbs who was in person to watch Benjamin Morrison put together one of the best games from an Irish corner in recent memory against Clemson. Hobbs, a commit to South Carolina since this summer, decommitted from the [...]
The Irish physically dominated a talented Clemson team with playoff aspirations, running at will and shutting down the Tiger offense. There's already been some efforts to discount the resounding win - as if Clemson was never a real contender, or Notre Dame might not have dominated without a special teams and defensive score. But Dabo [...]
Now, that was one awesome weekend of college football, dear friends. We made Dabo Swinney extremely sad and that even dulled the jealousy of watching Brian Kelly upset Alabama in Death Valley. The weekend was an even bigger tease with Rutgers leading Michigan at halftime--oh my goodness can you imagine if they actually held on [...]
Welcome back to the 18S G5 Top Ten! While this weekend was very crazy at the top of the rankings, we saw the buildup of a the first G5 Game of the Century! Also Considered: Boise State, Ohio, Fresno State, Wyoming, Toledo The Races First we take a look at what is going to be [...]
Clemson flew home early Sunday morning seriously licking their wounds as Notre Dame put together one of its most complete and physical dominations of a top ranked opponent in a very long time. For the 1st half the weather was not cooperating for either passing game. Clemson in particular looked all out of sorts getting [...]
My first reaction to tonight's win? "We've got ourselves a (blankity blank) head football coach." Notre Dame didn't just beat #4 Clemson Saturday, 35-14. They pushed the Tigers around. They did the only things they could do to win when Clemson knew exactly what those things were, and they did them spectacularly well. That's special. [...]
KEY TO THE GAME Let’s talk about where my man Drew Pyne is right now. Here’s his first 3rd Down pass from the Syracuse game. Give it a watch or two. What happens? Pyne locks onto Mayer from the jump. If he were reading the field he’d see the LBs both suck up on the [...]
Notre Dame put together a complete effort to kill Syracuse's dreams, jumping out to an early lead and holding it thanks to contributions from the defense, rushing attack, and special teams. The offensive line and rushing attack allowed Notre Dame to dominate the efficiency battle, but without explosive plays the Orange threatened to pull off [...]

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded wideout Chase Claypool to the Chicago Bears on Tuesday. In exchange, the Bears are sending a 2nd round [...]
A pair of top 10 teams in our rankings had a rough week 9 but the tippy-top of the rankings continue to remain unblemished. That is guaranteed to change with the biggest game of the week coming up this Saturday afternoon for SEC East supremacy. We also have a handful of previously 1-loss teams starting [...]
