McGuinness: My 10 favorite Observer sports articles of 2022-23

Andrew McGuinness | Monday, May 1, 2023

It’s been a long, great year of Notre Dame sports. So much has happened since we all arrived on campus back in August. Here at The Observer, we covered it all. And though I’m definitely a bit biased, I feel confident in saying we covered it pretty well. There will be more to come as

First-ever ZeLO 64-team CFP

Thomas Zwiller | Thursday, December 8, 2022

Have you ever looked at the College Football Playoff and thought, “I would love an expanded tournament”? Well, I have good news, this year, it was announced that the CFP would expand to 12 teams, making the CFP much more accessible to more teams. But what is that? You want even more teams? What if

ZeLO previews conference championship weekend

Thomas Zwiller | Thursday, December 1, 2022

I would write a traditional intro, but I do not have the words! We have 10 conferences to cover and CFP scenarios to think about! Ready, set go! PAC 12 To me, this feels like the most important conference championship game. By dominating their respective conferences and going undefeated, Michigan and Georgia feel like locks

ZeLO makes conference title and bowl game picks

Thomas Zwiller | Thursday, November 17, 2022

I will come right out and say it: This week of college football is boring. Of the top-25 teams playing on Saturday, the average point spread is 14.7. That feels like Vegas telling you that you can turn your TV off and go for a walk. Do not get me wrong, there are good games.

Zwiller: ZeLO’s CFP Rankings and Week 11 Picks

Thomas Zwiller | Friday, November 11, 2022

After a weekend of significant upsets (yes, I am counting No. 3 Georgia defeating No. 1 Tennessee as an “upset,” even though Georgia was a 10-point favorite), the playoff picture got much clearer. Alabama, it would seem, is officially out of the playoff race as they no longer control the SEC West and are a

Zwiller: ZeLO’s CFP rankings and Week 10 picks

Thomas Zwiller | Thursday, November 3, 2022

If you are a diehard college football fan like I am, then the CFP Rankings announcement show is appointment television. So, like many of you, I tuned into ESPN at 7 p.m. and saw the top 25 announced. And the results were somewhat controversial. Having Georgia in third place while Tennessee took first was undoubtedly

Zwiller: ZeLO revisits incorrect picks against ND, game picks

The Observer | Wednesday, October 12, 2022

In Notre Dame’s two most recent games against North Carolina and BYU, ZeLO had the Irish as an underdog. Obviously, ZeLO got those two games somewhat wrong, as the Irish won comfortably against both squads and are now on a three-game win streak.  So, before I go to what is an exciting week of picks,

ZeLO: Re-ranking the Irish schedule and Week 6 picks

Thomas Zwiller | Friday, October 7, 2022

This week we have SEVEN previously unranked teams that have jumped into the top 25. Some of them, like Cincinnati or Mississippi State, are foreseeable. Others, like Syracuse and Kansas, are less so.  The rise of those seven teams came courtesy of seven teams who lost in shocking upsets. Of the seven teams that dropped

Zwiller: ZeLO predicts the blue bloods in Week 4

Thomas Zwiller | Wednesday, September 21, 2022

With the third week of college football, ZeLO now boasts a record of 190-58 (76.6%). However, this weekend, the model went 54-18 (75%), so it was a slight dip from the prior weekends. I upped the in-season adjustments this week, so now the model is even more responsive to the USCs and Texas’ of the world.

Addressing ZeLO’s flaws

Thomas Zwiller | Monday, September 12, 2022

Earlier this week, when I wrote the “ZeLO Picks: Week 2 column,” I mentioned that despite only being Week 2 (or 3, if you count the ever-annoying Week 0), ZeLO had some problems and shortcomings. And that is entirely true. As good as a 77.3% pick percentage might sound, even when compared to ESPN’s FPI

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
