The last time Notre Dame played a team that's currently ranked in the Top 25, they lost by nearly four touchdowns. Since then, despite feasting on teams like Stanford, North Carolina, Air Force and Army, they've got themselves back into the national championship picture. On the outside, about-to-be-cropped portion of that picture maybe, but in the picture nonetheless.

USC, meanwhile is in the middle of that picture. They win tonight, and they're probably going back to the national championship game for what feels like the 17th year in a row.

Plenty of reasons to watch and follow along here in the Deadspin comments: Nick Lachey, USC's great receivers against Notre Dame's mediocre secondary, Donald Trump, Jeff Samardzija vs. Terrell Thomas, PAC-10 Porno names, Will Ferrell, the handsome good looks of Brady Quinn, Brent Musberger, cheerleaders in sweaters, and major BCS implications.
