Here's something for thought:
If Notre Dame wins next week, they're likely going to the Gator Bowl. If Miami doesn't win the ACC, they'll still be likely to play in a New Years' Day bowl game. The ACC's tie-in I believe is the Gator Bowl.
That means that Notre Dame and Miami would most likely be playing each other for the first time since 1990, back in the Catholics vs. Convicts days.
