What happened: Notre Dame built a 24-3 lead over No. 1 Miami in South Bend behind three touchdown passes from CJ Carr. The Irish pulled away before halftime with a late scoring drive and held the Hurricanes to a single field goal. Carr found the end zone for a third time to push the margin to 21 points.

Why it matters: Miami entered South Bend holding the No. 1 ranking for the first time in College Football Playoff history. A decisive victory keeps Notre Dame firmly in the national playoff conversation while threatening Miami's top overall seed.

What to watch: Notre Dame looks to finish out the upset in the second half, while Miami seeks answers to avoid its first loss as the nation's top-ranked team.
