Notre Dame vs. Navy: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time and stats

The No. 12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish take on the undefeated No. 24 Navy Midshipmen in a Week 9 matchup that will reveal a lot about each team to the College Football Playoff Selection Committee.

Notre Dame suffered what felt like a catastrophic loss to Northern Illinois in Week 1, but they have bounced back nicely, winning all but one of their games by 18 points or more. The one exception was arguably their biggest win of the year, a 31-24 victory over then-No. 15 Louisville.

Navy, on the other hand, has won in emphatic fashion all year. Their lowest-scoring outing was a 34-7 win over Air Force two games ago, and their closest game was a 56-44 win over Memphis.
