In this story:

No. 6 Notre Dame obliterated No. 19 Army 49-14 on Saturday night in the Bronx and are now one win away from the College Football Playoff.

The game was pretty much over as quickly as a it started as Notre Dame forced two three-and-outs on Army and scored touchdowns on its first two possessions.

Notre Dame has now won nine games in a row, is 10-1, and one win from earning a home playoff game. That would come from beating USC next week as the Irish conclude the season in the home of their biggest rival.

Notre Dame and college football fans alike were excited following the Fighting Irish victory - here are some of the best.

Notre Dame's Truly Elite Secondary

I grew up with Notre Dame’s Defensive Secondary being the weak link on the team.

Army Hadn't Seen a Team Like Notre Dame

It turns out not playing a team in the top-90 in F+ won't prepare you to play a team like Notre Dame

Should Notre Dame Jump Penn State in Rankings?

Notre Dame 100% should jump Penn State in the rankings.

Will that happen? I doubt it.

But it should happen.
