Notre Dame earned a narrow 3–2 victory when these squads met on September 9th — and three months later, both teams are battle-hardened and hungry for some hardware.

After a season of jaw-dropping performances, the four Heisman Trophy finalists — three transfer quarterbacks (QBs) and one wide receiver (WR) — will head to NYC for tomorrow’s 8 p.m. ET award ceremony on ESPN.

As confetti continues falling on the women’s College Cup champ, the four remaining men’s squads will kick off their semifinals tonight, when two previous title-winners, Clemson and Notre Dame, take on final four first-timers West Virginia and Oregon State, respectively.

Overall No. 1–seed Florida State won their fourth national championship — all in the last 10 seasons — with Monday’s blistering 5–1 beatdown of the also-undefeated No. 2 Stanford. Ring ring, destiny’s calling.

The national tournament survivors jump back into the fray with this week’s Regionals — tomorrow’s Round of 16 plus Saturday’s quarter-finals — hosted by the highest-seeded team left in each bracket quadrant (in this case, the four No. 1 seeds).

The pinnacle of the women’s season, the College Cup, kicks off in mere hours, and by the day’s end, Monday’s national championship match will be set.

It’s conference championship weekend, and the stakes couldn’t be higher for the crowded field of CFP contenders.

Don’t blink because 64 squads will begin their single-elimination national tournament run tomorrow or Friday, and by late Saturday night, only 16 will remain in the natty hunt.

It’s still November, but between Monday’s poll drops, the defending champ No. 4 UConn men’s latest NCAA record, and this week’s inaugural ACC/SEC Challenge, this hoops season is the gift that keeps on giving.

Week 13 was a rollercoaster as the CFP picture slowly emerged and the Pac-12’s swan song neared its end.
