No, I'm not. You are falling into the same reasoning with Florida.
Alabama has played a clearly good team (Michigan) and beat them to death before halftime. Arkansas was nowhere near what we thought they would be, but we beat them 52-0. We almost had three straight shutouts, but our backups didn't hold late in the 4th quarter in yet another blowout. This isn't hype, this is evaluating a team.
And did you miss my first post in this thread, where I said I'd rank Florida ahead of us right now based on schedule?
The point you're not getting, or simply ignoring, is that Notre Dame has the same argument as Florida, only stronger. The combination of teams they have beaten is more impressive than Florida's collective resume, but you are either less impressed with how they "look", or you are dismissing them for some other reason.
