Sometimes boring can be progress. And that’s exactly what Notre Dame accomplished on Saturday against Georgia Tech.

To Win-Out This Regular Season: 41.1% (up 6.9% from Oct. 13) Make College Football Playoff: 56.1% (down 1.3%)* Make National Championship Game: 9.9 (up 1.3%)

With backup Zach Pyron at QB instead of Haynes King, Notre Dame permitted a 13-play, 71-yard scoring drive on its second defensive series. Then the Irish clamped down, even with freshman cornerback Leonard Moore (team-high seven first-half tackles) replacing the injured Benjamin Morrison.
