Notre Dame gets back to the spot they were after Week 3, but there is another significant data point that ESPN points out, its chances at running the table for the rest of the regular season. After dropping to a 22% chance to win the remainder of their games last week, it jumped to 30.5% this week, the highest number in the nation.

Notre Dame got revenge on Louisville in a hard-fought battle in South Bend Saturday afternoon. This game was not pretty, it was not a work of art, it will not be remembered as some instant classic, but it was a critically important game for Freeman and Notre Dame.

Notre Dame is 3-1. Notre Dame opened the season with a 23-13 victory over Texas A&M in College State, Texas, before falling in its home opener to Mid-American Conference school Northern Illinois, 16-14, in a stunner for the Irish. The Irish bounced back with a 66-7 victory at Purdue and then dispatched Miami (Ohio), 28-3, last weekend at home.
