College Football 2020: 5 games with biggest playoff implications in Week 7

4. Louisville at No. 4 Notre Dame

Notre Dame has had a tough season in terms of being able to play weekly because of COVID-19, but they finally returned to action last weekend against Florida State and were a bit underwhelming, at least on the defensive side of the football.

The Fighting Irish gave up some big plays through the air to Florida State and they will need to shore that up because Louisville has one of the best deep threats in the country in Tutu Atwell.

Louisville has not had the season that they had hoped to coming into this game, starting 1-3 and losing a double-digit lead against Georgia Tech last week. Expect the Cardinals to play the best game of their season as they try to pull the upset on the fourth-ranked Irish.

Notre Dame needs another big victory to start building momentum towards their game with Clemson in three weeks.
