No. 1 Miami visits No. 4 Notre Dame on Saturday in a rematch with playoff stakes
The 5AM Hialeah team
If you bleed orange and green, circle Saturday, Nov. 7. No. 1 Miami (8-0) visits No. 4 Notre Dame (7-1) in South Bend, Indiana, at 7:30 p.m. on NBC.
It's a rematch with a backstory. Miami beat the Irish 27-24 in last season's opener and took the final at-large spot in the College Football Playoff. Notre Dame then skipped a bowl game, and a loss Saturday could put its own playoff hopes in peril.
