Nick Saban calls Miami game a 'must-win situation' for Notre Dame.
Notre Dame · Boise StateBoth teams have their sights set on the College Football Playoff, meaning a win for either program would be massive in that effort. For Miami , it heads into the matchup as the No. 1 overall team in the first College Football Playoff Rankings of the season.
Notre Dame , meanwhile, sits at No. 11 in the CFP Rankings. That would put them as the ‘Last Team In’ for now, as Boise State would grab the No. 12 seed as the GO6 representative.
To say Saturday’s game is massive would be an understatement. Especially with Miami star receiver Malachi Toney out, this is a big opportunity for Marcus Freeman’s team to earn their elusive ‘signature win’.
To this point, Notre Dame sits at 7-1 on the season, but doesn’t boast a ranked win. Obviously, playing the No. 1 team in the country at home.
