No. 9 Notre Dame has one last opportunity to solidify its case to the College Football Playoff committee. That comes Saturday with a trip to Stanford, where the Irish look to end their regular season on a 10-game win streak.

Coach Marcus Freeman's group is coming off an emphatic 70-7 win over Syracuse, which saw the Irish take a 21-0 lead without running an offensive play and later rush for 329 yards and six touchdowns.

On the other side, Stanford snapped a three-game losing streak last week with a 31-10 win over Cal. That gives the Cardinal a chance to pick up a fifth win under interim head coach Frank Reich, a benchmark they haven't reached since the 2018 season.

Here's more information on the game.
