Notre Dame pretty much dominated Indiana in the College Football Playoff's First Round Friday night, beating the Hoosiers 27-17 in a game that wasn't as close as the final score indicated.

The win is Notre Dame's most important postseason victory since the 1994 Cotton Bowl as the Irish now advance to the national quarterfinal where they'll play No. 2 Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.

During and after Notre Dame's big win, social media reacted in a big way. Some are calling Notre Dame a national championship contender while others are downplaying the win over Indiana.

Below are some of the best social media posts in the wake of Notre Dame's 27-17 victory.
