The undefeated No. 7 Miami Hurricanes (8-0) play host to the No. 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (8-1) at Hard Rock Stadium in what has the makings of a classic showdown. The two teams don’t meet often during the regular season and this time around they both have CFP aspirations. As ESPN notes for today’s matchup, both teams are on winning streaks, with Miami coming off a 28-10 defeat of former No. 13 Virginia Tech last week and Notre Dame having defeated Wake Forest, 48-37.
