This will be a (likely) Top-10 Irish team against a Louisville team that went 2-10 last year.

Last year's Monday night game (#19 FSU vs. #20 Va Tech) delivered about half the ratings of the Sunday night game you referenced (LSU-Miami drew a 6.6 rating; FSU-Va Tech drew a 3.4).

Of the six teams we've covered in this post (LSU, Miami, FSU, Va Tech, Notre Dame, and Louisville), Louisville has the lowest national appeal by a wide margin...especially coming off of a 2-10 stinker last year.

This game just isn't very appealing. It should be played on Saturday at 3:30 pm.
