  "account": "Notre Dame's dominance continued following their 52-0 win over Rice, as the team remains on a 2-0 start. While the Fighting Irish are currently the No. 3 seed in the latest US LBN Coaches' rankings, On3 has placed them just outside the top-5 in its updated College Football Playoff bracket. On3 projects Notre Dame as the No. 6 seed, facing No. 11 Virginia in the first round of the CFP. Should Notre Dame triumph, they would advance to challenge No. 3 Georgia in the quarterfinals. Notre Dame is set to host Michigan State on Saturday evening. The previous meeting between the two teams took place on September 23, 2017, with Notre Dame emerging victorious with a score of 38-18.",
