Do you expect BK to shite-talk his player's talent level immediately after a loss?
Wasn't BK the Head Coach who recruited that shite talent? Hmmmm
BK has never done shite when it matters.

Cool, then you shouldn't be worried.

Playing a cupcake schedule and pulling off an upset against a top 10 Big Ten team every now and then....and subsequently getting their arse kicked by SEC squad or Clemson every time screams overrated to me.
It shouldn’t.
If Notre Dame did beat Clemson and Alabama sometimes then they would be ranked 3-5 each year instead of 7-10. They can’t beat the elite tier of Bama/Clemson/UGA/Ohio St, but they can beat everyone else, and they usually do.
Let me ask you this? Which teams are ranked behind Notre Dame that would beat Alabama and Clemson? I’ll wait.
Properly rated.

Yeah, plenty of LSU students wanted Les gone in 2006/2007.
I’m not even saying if they’re right or not. I just know that I’d have conversations with family that were students these last 4-5 years and they always talked about how tired they were of Kelly, and how much the students dislike him. And this was well before he moved to LSU.

And then to support your regular season argument, you include this:

I realize it's a struggle to defend your stance on Notre Dame, but c'mon man...

Now that Brian Kelly is gone, Notre Dame is definitely overrated.
Oh man. Gonna be a lot of fun to watch the infatuation with BK disappear after they drop the first one against FSU.

Ok. Because those teams are better. No one is saying otherwise. The fact that they run through the regular season shows that they aren’t overrated. They consistently beat mid level ranked teams and usually lose to Top 5 teams.
Last year they went into the bowl season ranked #5.
They had played 2 ranked opponents all year:
A Wisconsin team where Notre Dame was their third loss out of their first 4 games
A Cincinnati team that beat them 24-13
After that they progressively moved up in the polls by:
Beating a "struggled against Richmond" VA Tech by 3 (up 1 spot)
Beating then 3-3 USC (up 1 spot)
Beating then 4-3 North Carolina by 10 (up 3 spots)
Beating then 2-6 Navy (up a spot)
Beating "gave up 66 to BYU" Virginia (up a spot)
Beating then 3-7 Georgia Tech (up a spot)
That's why people say Notre Dame is overrated. They get the benefit of the doubt based on the name of their opponent, not the quality.

Are you planning on dropping it at that point?

He seems to be on track to land his best class ever in just his first season at LSU.

You're the one that wanted to make an argument based on the regular season, but threw in post season games.
Again, Notre Dame plays a soft schedule and gets their asses handed to them when it comes to the post season.

And yet there was no team more deserving of the #5 spot at the time. Not to mention this past team was their worst one since ‘16.

By that token, Ole Miss also plays a soft schedule.

It's not just "did they win or lose" but rather "were they competitive"?
Notre Dame hasn't even been competitive in those games. Not just a single game, which could be considered an outlier, but in all 3.
Notre Dame's consistency is being consistently overrated.

Weird flex - you believe an SEC schedule is a soft schedule?

Honestly, that's probably partly fair and mostly Notre Dame entitlement.

Notre Dame and Ole Miss were ranked 21st and 22nd in SOS for 2021.
