Notre Dame football officially gets College GameDay National Title pick

It’s not a surprise to any fan out there that there are some seriously high expectations around the Notre Dame football program. However, while most analysts believe the Fighting Irish are shoo-ins for the playoffs, most don’t think they’re going very far once they get there.

That is not the case with one guest picker who made an appearance on ESPN College GameDay. And while that might not carry a ton of weight, it was nice to see someone decide the Golden Domers are headed to the National Title.

WWE superstar Sheamus appeared on College GameDay as the invited guest for the ESPN crew. As the subject turned to who was going to win the whole thing, the multiple time champion who just happens to be born and raised in Dublin went with Notre Dame football.

Notre Dame football National Title pick goes all in on Irish

It’s not hard to understand why Sheamus would pick the Blue and Gold. And to be fair, his was the only one who believes they’ll get there. However, it can’t hurt to have some actual luck of the Irish as Marcus Freeman and company sit just a week away from a very big season opener.

Notre Dame has had its fair share of people who think they are going to be in the post season. There have even been some who believe they’ll get to host a game in South Bend. 

Unfortunately, Notre Dame football doesn’t have a ton of believers that they’ll make some real noise. Here’s hoping they can prove the doubters wrong and Sheamus right.
