Unfortunately, I think Notre Dame is actually going to need some help if they are able to make it to the National Championship game.

Oregon has the beef portion of their schedule coming up, whereas Notre Dame has a weak portion even the USC lost some luster thanks to them losing to Arizona.

I think if Alabama or Oregon were to lose, it could set-up a showdown between K-State & Notre Dame...and who in their right mind would have predicted that during the preseason.
