Notre Dame set the tone early and delivered often Saturday in its dominating 51-14 victory over Navy on Saturday.

The win was by no means an upset, but did silence a couple of naysayers who picked against Notre Dame during the week.

Notre Dame now sits at 7-1 and enters an off week before starting its November push to the College Football Playoff on Nov. 9 against Florida State.

As you would expect after Notre Dame routed Navy to record its third victory over a ranked team this year, the Fighting Irish were on the receiving end of a lot of praise during and following the game. Below are some of the best social media reactions to Notre Dame's blowout win:

Notre Dame Naysayers Beware

I’m really looking forward to seeing how folks try to invalidate Notre Dame beating the brakes off of an undefeated, ranked Navy team who has run train on its schedule to date.

A Great Win for Notre Dame

Great game for Notre Dame. Leonard and offense were great again. Defense has so many dudes even with so many injuries. Refs called a BS roughing call when the game was out of hand just to make me feel something. Good job everyone on playing your role.

Notre Dame Football - The Real Deal?

FINAL

Notre Dame 51
Navy 14

Total domination from the Irish in all phases entering the second bye week. When the first CFP rankings come out on Nov. 5, Notre Dame should be in the mix. Irish looking more and more like the real deal.
