asserted
I → know → season
Despite not attending the school or even being Catholic, I’ve been a Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan my entire life, and I’m still not over the first two games of last season.
The Irish started the 2025 campaign with back-to-back, heart-wrenching, last-second losses, first to the Miami Hurricanes and then to the Texas A&M Aggies.
asserted
Irish → attend → Aggies
After their 0-2 start, the Irish dominated their remaining 10 games, including a 56-13 humiliation of the Arkansas Razorbacks.
asserted
Irish → dominate → Razorbacks
The Irish beat the Southeastern Conference Razorbacks so badly that the school fired its head coach literally the next day.

But Arkansas would get its revenge.
asserted
Arkansas → get → revenge
When the season began, Arkansas Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek was just a member of the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, the body responsible for selecting the 12 teams that make the College Football Playoff each year.
asserted
that → begin → Playoff
But Baylor Athletic Director Mack Rhoades stepped down as the committee’s chairman last November, meaning that when it was time to choose between the Alabama Crimson Tide, Brigham Young University Cougars, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Yurachek — the same man whose team Notre Dame had humiliated earlier in the season — was in charge of the process.
asserted
Dame → step → process
And Yurachek used his power to make a very public case for Alabama and against the Irish.
asserted
Yurachek → use → Irish
Yurachek flat-out told committee members to go back and watch Notre Dame’s loss to Miami, the first game of the season, before they voted on who made the playoffs “because it was so far back.”
asserted
it → tell → playoffs
Never mind that the game was freshman quarterback CJ Carr’s first-ever college game, or that Alabama was blown out by Florida State, a team that ended up going 5-7, that same weekend.
asserted
that → mind → State
Yurachek instructed committee members only to watch Notre Dame’s 27-24 loss, not Alabama’s much worse 31-17 loss.
asserted
Yurachek → instruct → loss
And it worked.
asserted
it → work → ?
Alabama got in.
asserted
Alabama → get → ?
Notre Dame didn’t.
asserted
Dame → do → ?
It is hard to trust a sport as corrupt as college football, an institution where Yurachek, after his blatant bias against Notre Dame, was allowed to remain chairman of the playoff committee and will again help select playoff teams this year.
asserted
Yurachek → trust → teams
But now Notre Dame knows to leave no doubt.
asserted
Dame → know → doubt
The Irish are going to be a hungry team with something to prove, one hoping to get revenge against Yurachek and the corrupt SEC in the playoffs.
asserted
Irish → go → playoffs
