Notre Dame has crept back into the top-10 with three wins since losing to Georgia, and the No. 8 Fighting Irish face the biggest test left on their schedule Saturday against No. 19 Michigan.
The Wolverines are looking to salvage what's left of their season after losing to Penn State last week. Michigan has two losses and has Ohio State looming at the end of the regular season, giving coach Jim Harbaugh's team a ton to play for against Notre Dame.
Last year in South Bend, the Fighting Irish knocked off the Wolverines 24-17 in the team's first meeting since 2014.

Notre Dame's climb in the rankings has raised some eyebrows, as the Fighting Irish have jumped the Bulldogs despite losing to them earlier in the year. A loss against Michigan would likely take Brian Kelly's squad out of contention for the College Football Playoff.
