Exciting; meaning that a team isn't winning convincingly?

Notre Dame, Freeman take another momentous step toward defining history

No. 6 ND's 49-14 rout of 19th-ranked Army screams for context and perpetuates the most tantalizing of possibilities.

Agree. There’s something about playing a soft schedule, losing at home to crappy Northern Illinois, and then saying a top 4 ranking is deserved that does not add up correctly.

I'm not surprised at all you said that

I rate Penn State higher than ND on a better schedule and losing to Ohio State rather than NIU.

But I now think it's 50:50 between the Irish and Nittany Lions in a playoff game.

Only the top 4 I mentioned give me some pause...but I am hoping ND shows upside obfuscated by this schedule.

30 mph wins according to broadcast before game. If you don't believe that, talk to them about it

BTW: USC is leading UCLA. Neither team is impressive overall. But as I said earlier, USC can be explosive and has some talent...and can be dangerous.

I still feel ND should be able to manage a win next week. 75%. Have to avoid a letdown, no silly mistakes. I hope Denbrock calls the right game vs a weak USC D.

I'm confident Irish defense can handle the volatile USC O...that struggles in the red zone.

Given the fact that both teams have played soft schedules, losing to Northern Illinois is why I would vote Notre Dame slightly behind 10-1 Penn State.

The SEC is still very good. And sure, they are inflicting losses on each other, compounding out of conference losses.

You also are doing what may critics of ND do...short quips like: they played NIU las week.

I don't know what that means.

But Bama played Mercer last week. They should have been fresh and prepared for this game.

And they got blown out

We should be 4 on Tuesday.

Obviously jump Indiana and it's time they move us above PSU

Texas A&M is no longer a win to point to.

Knee sprain for sure out against SC, hopefully nothing worse. I would think back for playoff 🙏

You watched Army. A top 25 ranking is a joke.

They would get steamrolled in the SEC week after week.

But you will refer to Army as a quality win. Just like you did with Navy.

It’s disingenuous.

I agree there is no clearly dominant team. But in my view the top 4 seem to be elite vs others aspiring.

Obviously I',m rooting for the Irish...but I gotta be honest: given the schedule and loss to NIU, we can't tell if ND is elite.

The playoffs will determine that. And, if enough stronger SEC teams fail to make it, my hopes rise even more.

Well stated.

To some posters, anything and everything about Notre Dame is elite.

And I agree, we won’t know anything until this team plays a legitimate top 5 team:

They're still a good team. Capable of beating good teams. Losing a coach like Saban is a big deal...as is playing in an SEC where there is attrition.

Like I said, I have a clear top 4...the rest fight it out.

Playing Purdue, Army, Miami Ohio and Navy helps.

Well, obviously you can only play the schedule you have. ND didn't set out to make it weaker. And ND has recovered from the loss to NIU, steadily improving.

ND absolutely warrants a high ranking and a playoff at this time. 1 more game to go to ice things.

As always, all of us ultimately use our eye test. Mine sees a very different ND right now. As I posted earlier...we will find out how good ND really can be.

The loss to NIU and weak schedule make this an open question. Hence the playoffs...starting with USC, which is a de facto playoff game.

GDFan · Nov 24, 2024

Great all around game except for the kicking game. Jeter is awful

Vandy who lost to Ga state very good sec team. Meat grinder

Clear and obvious bias
