After I posted this thread I ended up not finishing the game and going out for the night

I checked the score a few hours later and I'm shocked to see that LSU got completely ran over in the second half.

I think LSU is a really good program with some really good players incoming in 2025. I think they're going to be a legit force going forward under Brian Kelly

Well, we've had one common opponent, Stanford. And we beat them worse - 49-7 vs 40-14.

They've played a bunch of bottom feeders from the ACC.

They have Louisville, Virginia Tech and Pitt left in conference - so they finally start playing some of the better ACC teams the next few weeks.

Golsons takes are very simple:

Just watch the hacks at ISD and at IB who are an extension of Notre Dame's PR wing.

• Every opponent ND plays is good
• Every player ND recruits is good/underrated by the services
• Every scheme ND deploys is good
• Every coach ND hires is good
• Every decision ND makes is good
• Every win is good
• Every loss is good
• Every person involved in ND is good
• The conference is good
• The schedule is good

once any of those players/coaches/etc. leave Notre Dame, then its open-season for bashing (with the benefit of hindsight of course) lol

Im going based on the information in this thread. If they've moved up to 8th/9th that's good. They are still underrated based on the algorithmic systems that have more respect for ND than the rest of the country does.

Yes he did. So did others. And I've said he's a 1st round talent

I didn't say he would get drafted in the 1st

You're grasping at straws because you're taking a beating the last 2 days

You bragged on Mccord and he had one of the worst games in cfb history. You bragged on Nussmeir and LSUs offense and he and they gave the game away. Just giving the ball to AM. RL is playing much better and you can't admit it. It's eating you up inside. You said what would we do and RL do against a top 10 team, I said we already played one. You said nah they aren't that good. Guess what, they are now top 10. You brought up the narrative about voters and having teams jump us and your stupid moral comment. We didn't get jumped and we moved up again. You said Auburn had a better offense than us, ours is 20th in scoring. Theirs is 71st. Ouch.

It's been a rough couple days for you little buddy. You're wrong so much you're getting like Chase

But all you want to talk about is 1st round

🤣🤣🤣

Already did. Former head coaches and assistant coaches would be better than the Vegas computers at ranking teams

We can start with Nick Saban and Urban Meyer and go from there

They know more about football than Vegas

Clemson is crushing people. ND lost to NIU. That’s why it evens out for me.

ND has the best wins in terms of “who”, but Clemson has been more impressive with how dominant they’ve been over Power 4 teams. My inclination would probably be to pick Clemson to win over ND but having Leonard at QB would make me re think that.

That’s why I want one more week of data to separate the two.

You said that there were people who were better qualified to rank the teams than Vegas

You said that those people were people who “knew the game, who watched every game”

So who are those people that you referenced ?

Who are the people you referenced who watch every game?

Identify them for us or just admit that fabricated your response.

You’re a fraud

And worse than that, you’re dishonest, and you lack any semblance of integrity

The reason ND is not moving up in polls is because the writers & the coaches (to a lesser extent) dont respect the quality of competition on the schedule.

NDinNJ said:

have ND ranked 12-13 with both Indiana and Exas A&M jumping ahead of ND. If this is in fact true, the NIU loss is hurting ND more than the win vs A&M is helping them.

Pollsters may feel that A&M is better than they were in Week 1.

The moral of the story is don't lose to crappy MAC level teams.
