CJ Carr just put himself in ELITE company against No. 1 Miami.
319 passing yards
3 touchdowns
0 interceptions
Since 1995, only four other QBs have beaten an AP No. 1 team with 300+ yards, 3+ TDs and no picks:
Deshaun Watson
Trevor Lawrence
Bryce Young
Will Howard
ALL four did it in a national title game or playoff.
Carr just did it in the regular season.

No. 4 Notre Dame takes down No. 1 Miami 31-24.
The historical implications of this game are absolutely INSANE.
1. A FIRST IN 90 YEARS OF AP POLL HISTORY
• For the FIRST TIME since the AP Poll began in 1936, two No. 4 teams have beaten No. 1 teams in the same regular season.
Sept. 12: No. 4 Texas beat No. 1 Ohio State
Nov. 7: No. 4 Notre Dame beat No. 1 Miami
• Only once before, in 1963, had AP No. 1 teams suffered two regular-season losses to top-5 opponents in the same season.
2. FIVE STRAIGHT WEEKS OF TOP-TWO LOSSES
• An AP top-two team has now lost in FIVE consecutive weeks.
Oct. 10: No. 1 Texas lost to Oklahoma
Oct. 17: No. 1 Georgia lost to Auburn AND No. 2 Notre Dame lost to BYU
Oct. 24: No. 2 BYU lost to UCF
Oct. 31: No. 2 Ohio State lost to USC
Nov. 7: No. 1 Miami lost to Notre Dame
• That TIES 2007 for the longest such streak since the AP Poll began in 1936.
• Other notable streaks lasted four weeks, in 1964 and 2024.
• A top-two team has now lost in SIX of the last NINE weeks, dating back to Ohio State's September 12 loss.
3. THE NO. 1 CURSE IS REAL
• The AP No. 1 team has now lost FOUR times this regular season.
Sept. 12: Ohio State lost to Texas
Oct. 10: Texas lost to Oklahoma
Oct. 17: Georgia lost to Auburn
Nov. 7: Miami lost to Notre Dame
• That's the most regular-season losses by AP No. 1 teams since 1990, when five occurred.
• The record since 1936 is six, set in 1981. Both 1984 and 1990 had five.
• EVERY team to hold the No. 1 ranking this season has lost while holding it.
Ohio State
Texas
Georgia
Miami
• Georgia is now positioned to return to No. 1 following Miami's loss.
4. THREE HISTORIC GAMES. THE EXACT SAME SCORE.
• Notre Dame just beat No. 1 Miami 31-24.
• The EXACT SAME SCORE as Notre Dame's legendary 1993 "Game of the Century" victory over No. 1 Florida State.
• It's also Miami's first loss as the AP No. 1 team since the 2003 Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State.
• The score of that game? ALSO 31-24.
1993: Notre Dame 31, No. 1 Florida State 24
2003: Ohio State 31, No. 1 Miami 24
2026: Notre Dame 31, No. 1 Miami 24
5. MIAMI'S FIRST REAL TEST
• Miami entered tonight 8-0 and ranked No. 1 without having faced a SINGLE ranked opponent.
• Its first ranked opponent? No. 4 Notre Dame.
• Its first loss? 31-24.
• Since 1989, AP top-5 teams that started 8-0 or better without facing a ranked opponent are now just 2-8 in their first ranked matchup.
• Miami is the ONLY team in that group that was ranked No. 1 entering its first ranked game.
• Other teams in that group include:
1989 Nebraska: Lost
1990 Nebraska: Lost
2000 Virginia Tech: Lost
2004 Utah: Won
2015 TCU: Lost
2015 Baylor: Lost
2015 Ohio State: Lost
2023 Michigan: Won
2024 Indiana: Lost
2026 Miami: Lost
• Only 2004 Utah and 2023 Michigan won their first ranked test.
6. MARCUS FREEMAN KEEPS WINNING BIG GAMES
• Marcus Freeman improves to 4-2 against AP top-5 opponents.
• Tonight was Freeman's FIRST career game against an AP No. 1 team. He is now 1-0.
• Freeman is now 25-1 when leading by 14+ points at halftime.
• His ONLY loss when holding a 14+ point halftime lead came in his very first game as head coach, the 2022 Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma State.
• Notre Dame led Miami 17-3 at halftime and extended the lead to 24-3 in the third quarter before holding on to win 31-24.
7. NOTRE DAME'S HISTORY AGAINST NO. 1
• Notre Dame has now beaten an AP No. 1 team TEN times, improving to 10-16-1 all-time against top-ranked opponents.
• It's the Irish's first win over No. 1 since beating Clemson in 2020.
• It's Notre Dame's first win over a No. 1 Miami team since the legendary 31-30 "Catholics vs. Convicts" game in 1988.
• The Irish have now knocked off No. 1 Miami in two of the most memorable matchups in the rivalry's history.
8. MIAMI'S COMEBACK FALLS SHORT
• Miami trailed Notre Dame 17-3 at halftime and 24-3 in the third quarter before cutting the deficit to seven.
• Mario Cristobal falls to 1-17 as a head coach when trailing by 14+ points at halftime.
• Miami falls to 1-21 when trailing by 14+ at halftime since 2001.
• Cristobal entered tonight 0-3 when trailing by 14+ at halftime with his team scoring exactly 3 points. That record is now 0-4.
9. ONLY TWO UNDEFEATED TEAMS REMAIN
• With Miami's loss, just TWO undefeated teams remain in FBS.
UCLA
Utah
• That's the FEWEST undefeated FBS teams at this point of a season since 2003.
What an absolutely ridiculous season of college football.

Michigan vs. Ohio State for a trip to the Duke’s Mayo Bowl is gonna be absolute cinema.

An AP No. 1 or No. 2 team has lost SEVEN times this season.
No. 1: Ohio State, Texas, Georgia, Miami
No. 2: Notre Dame, BYU, Ohio State
That's tied for the 5th most in a regular season since 1936.
It's now happened in FIVE straight weeks, tying the record set in 2007.
One more next Saturday would make HISTORY.

Congratulations @SRyniec10 on this huge accomplishment. Winners win!! 🏈
With his extra point, kicker Sean Ryniec put @football_ncc ahead 41-12 vs. Millikin and set a new program record with his 243rd made extra point!

The state of officiating football. Watch the offensive center. No call. I get not wanting to disrupt the flow the game & not throwing flags on every play… but what are we doing man?
@tjmcaulay why do officials refuse to call obvious holding at the point of attack?
These stories tear me apart. Children should be laughing and having fun- not battling sickness.
Thank you @JenLada and to your @CollegeGameDay team for telling Chad Carr’s story. I need a new box of Kleenex.
#CancerSucks
When he was young, CJ Carr's brother Chad was diagnosed with DIPG, a rare form of brain cancer and died when he was just five years old.
CJ moved forward the best he could, and when it came time to pick a college, he picked Notre Dame because he knew Chad would love that CJ charted his own path ❤️

Just when you thought @ValpoBasketball was out of it, the Beacons found a way back.
Love him or hate him… pretty fun segment and cool experience for these students.
I've watched a lot of Dave's pizza reviews, and this one was truly good. You can tell he had a good time and got a kick out of the boys at @NotreDame's dorms. Give it a watch!
