If its a close loss to Bama then UGA certainly should. They beat ND on their home field starting a true freshman qb and holding ND to like 60 yards rushing.

ND has a decent strength of schedule, and I'm not arguing against that, but I think it is probably a little overblown by the media. They are profiting a bit from beating teams that are actually over-ranked imo. Anyone who has watched USC before they got stomped by ND knows they are not a very good football team, and should not have been ranked 11 going into that game. Just like anyone who has watched a team like Stanford knows they don't belong in the top 25; hopefully Stanford drops another game or two by the time they play ND so that when ND beats them by 3 tds it won't be seen as a true 'quality' win. Idk much about Mich state, just that they beat a Michigan team who has no offense. Maybe that is a true quality win for ND, I'm not sure though tbh.

NC State is a good team, probably their best remaining opponent imo. That would be a quality win for sure. Miami is undefeated but they have not dominated a single team they have played, all their games go down to the wire and I would not say they are an elite football team, heck even Richt said that after their last win. But if ND beats them in Miami, it would be a solid victory.

The bottom line is ND lost to the best team they have played, which was UGA, at their own stadium. But if they go 11-1 it will certainly be hard to keep them out. UGA would need to lose by a td or less in a competitive SECCG to have any chance to get in ahead of them.
