## Resource

Notre Dame’s 2025 season ended with a fiery controversy after being snubbed from the College Football Playoff despite a 10-2 record, leading them to boycott the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Now, fueled by national hype—including ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit calling QB CJ Carr “the real deal”—they’re poised for a 2026 title run, with DraftKings giving them +650 odds to win it all. The Irish are hungry, talented, and ready to prove they belong at the top. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
