Welcome to the Monday edition of Irish Illustrate Insider,

brought to you by Irish Illustrated.com with Pete Sampson and Tim O'Malley.

I'm Tim Priester.

We all made it back in a unique way from Boston.

Pete, a little bit later than everybody else, but we are here

and back in Snowy, South Bend. It was beautiful in Boston. It's, well, it's sunny here too, but it's

snowy and South Bend, and winter has hit. And we move forward. Notre Dame with the 1916 victory

over Boston College, obviously not very aesthetic, but it moves Notre Dame to the next level.

It'll be interesting to see this week, Tuesday night, just where Notre Dame sits.

And I think our opinions are kind of across the board on whether Notre Dame will retain its number four spot, maybe even move up to the number three spot.

Or as I have contended since a couple weeks ago,

the Nordame would probably fall to number five after the Wake Forest BC games.

Yeah, it's, the Notre Dame can't drop unless somebody's going to move over them.

And Oklahoma beat TCU with a bat, both, two backup quarterbacks on that game by one point after TCU missed

a two-point conversion at the end of the game. Oklahoma State lost, Baylor's on their third

string quarterback. Iowa beat Purdue, yay.

Michigan State.

Michigan State, to me, that's the team that, in my mind, should jump Notre Dame,

because they have Ohio State on the road, Michigan on the road,

like after a spin, and then they beat the good Oregon.

They didn't beat the garbage Oregon that was losing to Washington State.

They beat the Vernon Adams playing quarterback Oregon.
