Notre Dame already preparing for the VT away game

Yeah, sadly I still do read ESPN's CFB news. Even though they play Michigan and Stanford before us, Bryan Kelly seems to be using some strange techniques to prepare his squad for the showdown at Lane.

Notre Dame opens with a massive test as it hosts Michigan on Saturday, and Stanford visits four weeks later. Both games are crucial to the team's CFP profile, which affords almost no wiggle room. But players and coaches spotlight a different game -- Oct. 6 at Virginia Tech -- as one that will truly test whether the offseason worked.

The Sandman is coming at Lane Stadium, and the Irish had better be ready.

"We're going to go to Blacksburg, Virginia, on a nationally televised stage," Kelly said. "It's going to be crazy, there's going to be chaos. You can plan, but you're going to have to handle the moment."

Most TKP contributors highlighted the Miami or GT games as the most pivotal of the season.

1. What are the odds this will be a night game?
2. If tech beats FSU and Duke -- will this be a top 10, primetime matchup?
3. Win or lose, what implications would this really have (if both teams came in unbeaten)?

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.
