WHY is ND ranked at 16

By this point in the season no team should be highly ranked unless it has actual wins against good teams. Sure, a close loss to a very good team shouldn’t drag down the ranking too much, but graceful losses shouldn’t get you ranked to begin with. Only wins against good teams should do that. We are halfway through the season and ND’s best win is over a 3-2 Boise. Until it beats a top 30 team, ND shouldn’t even sniff the rankings, much less at 16.

The "impressive body of work" commentary at the end is going to be nauseating. Do they even play another ranked team? 2 losses should automatically kick a team out with that schedule. An argument about 2 loss ND vs a 3 loss SEC team getting in would be laughable.

They had a bad loss last year then had to run the table to make the cfp with 1 loss. Fine...had no issue last season. But with 2 losses already and that remaining schedule? Shouldn't matter if they win 50-0 the rest of the way.

Notre Dame #16 ???? Anyone want to wager with me. I will bet Notre Dame will be Top 12 or higher by playofff time....what a crock.


When ND beat Arkansas and improved their record to 2-2, they essentially punched their ticket to the playoff. I’m not joking.

we don't belong there. We should be booted out. Anyone who predicts Texas to win it all as long as Sark is here is a fricking moron and should probably lose their sports credentials. Sark is 13–28 against teams that were ranked at the end of the season. that's who he is. We don't belong anywhere near that list.


Yup. I remember being dismissive of what the Udub and SC Trojans boards said about him, and now it's all starting to come to fruition. Well hopefully without the sauce though.

Ags have said this many times. Seldom does it benefit you to have Texas in your conference. If you beat them, they eventually suck bad enough to where it doesn’t help your rankings. And if you don’t their press pumps them up to be world beaters. It’s a no win situation. Wins against Texas won’t count as a ranked win in the final analysis in most seasons.


Do you at least get paid decently to be a professional victim?

Yes, with 3 remaining games against top 10 opponents plus Vandy, it’s a virtual cakewalk!
