look at Texas last year. They play Purdue instead of Ohio State and they are in the playoffs.

Or, if they just hadn’t lost to a terrible Florida team.

Dammit. Why can’t we all do a better job of teaching our sons that real men don’t hit women?
Our D line has played up to its potential only the last two games; if that lengthens into a trend, we should have an elite D. But I still worry about our depth in the secondary; a key injury there would really hurt.

Offense is stout and improving every week.

It wouldn’t shock me to win out, but that would require everything to fall into place every week.
You’re underestimating Texas. They still have incredible talent across the board. Have beaten OSU and TN; two very narrow losses to FL and rival OK.

With Chambliss we have a decent chance of beating any team in the country. But you don’t make the CFB just by beating any team; you have to win consistently, every week. And doing that depends more on controlling the line of scrimmage, both ways. We will find out soon if our O and D lines have gelled enough for us to win out.

I would say TN has better quality wins than UGA, and a “better” loss.
So TN gets to pay $500 k on top of embarrassing itself by storming the field as if they’ve never beaten a good/decent team?

Nope. LSU’s is harder.
Cool. No weight given to better quality wins?
Tbh I don’t really care very much about any of the polls except the CFP Committee’s, which I think is wise to not even publish until later in the season. But we are at that point in time when the AP starts creating a narrative that to some extent helps shape the CFP.

If we beat Auburn you can slot us in between Florida and Auburn to make it a 12-team circus.

No one says they should. But the fact is that ND has control over its own schedule and intentionally gives itself an easy one every year. A few tune-up games, then one against a real time like BYU. Then a few more easy games until they face a Miami.

Saban once said that the hardest thing to do was getting a team up for a hard game every week. SEC and BiG10 teams have to do that; Notre Dame only has to get up for two games the whole season. (And don’t give me any crap about SMU being tough).

The number of SEC teams that would have an equal or better record with the same schedule as Notre Dame is 11, maybe 12.


This. In SEC standings rn OU and Texas are tied for 11-12. Texas has 3-point losses to Florida and OU, but also has something ND doesn’t: wins over ranked OSU and @TN. Texas, with all its shortcomings, would easily roll over all of the tune-up games on ND’s schedule, and might have even beaten BYU.
I hope he gets healthy soon. He’s fun to watch.

You’re exactly right. Notre Dame’s record really should be considered as undefeated. They are the only team in football that’s had bad calls not go their way.

Fair enough, if you think entry into the top 10 should be for teams that merely manage to avoid losses, instead of earning their ticket with good wins. I’m in the latter camp. I believe that by this point in the season, no team should be ranked top 10 unless they’ve got at least one win over a top 25 ranked team.
I’ve been waiting all year for our D line to show up, and it looks like they’ve finally arrived. On paper it was the best and deepest we’ve had in awhile; will be fun to watch if they keep this up.

Pre season I was worried more about our O line, but they have really improved and might even be considered elite. Garrison doing work.

Can anyone remember when we were dominant on both lines?

More needs to be said about this in the sports talk world, preferably before the CFP Committee begins ranking.

ND plays 10 cream puffs and only has to get up for two tough opponents on their whole schedule. Pundits ooh and ahh about the “eye test” they pass by beating up on bad and mediocre teams.

The pollsters don’t care that they have no wins against good teams, and don’t even demote them when they lose to the only ranked team they’ve faced.

Right now Kentucky, Ole Miss, and ND are all one-loss teams. But OM is 3-1 against ranked teams, Kentucky is 2-1, and Notre Dame is 0-1. Guess which one is ranked higher.
