Princeton vs. Notre Dame

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish finished the season at 25-9 as they take on the Princeton Tigers who are 23-6 and winner's of the first-ever Ivy League Conference Championship. One of the things that carried Notre Dame this season is the fact that they were a team that did not beat themsleves. They are first in lowest offensive turnover percentage, and rarely make silly fouls as they are a top 25 team when it comes to allowing opponents to get to the line. There has always been an uneasiness when playing Princeton in the first round, but this is not the Princeton teams of the past. The Tigers have won 19 straight, but when you look inside the numbers their biggest win was vs. Bucknell.  Notre Dame struggled at times vs. elite or top teams, but rarely were challenged otherwise, so I look for them to handle Princeton with relative ease. Play on Notre Dame.
