Welcome to Irish Illustrated Insider, brought to by Irish Illustrated.com.

It's Thursday, November 19th with Pete Samson and Tim O'Malley.

I'm Tim Priester, and we are here to preview Notre Dame versus Boston College before we get into that.

I think our first order of business each Thursday now is the college football

playoff rankings, Notre Dame, and the entire top four stays intact the way it was the week

before.

Jeff Long, the committee chairman, said the Nordame's position in the number four spot is secure.

But I'll believe that when I see it after next week's provided Notre Dame beats Boston College

because with the TCU at Oklahoma and Baylor at Oklahoma State, I think we could possibly see a

Notre Dame win and dropping down to fifth heading in the next week.

Yeah, it's possible.

And you wonder what will happen with Ohio State, Michigan State,

depending on how that game goes.

This will be a tumultuous week.

I think we've learned a little bit more every week as these rankings have come out.

But I think it's really significant to me that Oklahoma, after going on the road and beating Baylor,

which is maybe the best win of college football

this year up there with Clemson over Notre Dame and Alabama, just demoralizing

LSU.

They only jumped five spots for the teams that they jumped lost.

So the only team they really climbed over who won was Florida who beat South Carolina.

So as much as I think as the committee has said, you know, he sort of tear it up and reevaluate everything every week.
