# 10 in Coaches Poll
- Thread starter cgvr
- Start date
Temple was losing in the third qtr to winless Central Fl - ND wins that game by 21 +
Lots of teams ahead of ND have multiple games against each other or tough opponents (ie. Baylor and TCU having yet to play Oklahoma). I would love to see ND and Stanford win out up to their meeting. The winner would probably make the playoff.
Personally, I think ND's climb to the playoffs is very steep now that we have one loss. I thought we were punished pretty severely in the polls, going from #6 to #15 after a last second loss to a highly ranked opponent in one of the toughest places to play in the county during very bad weather.
I just see us being no better than 5 or 6 if we we win out.

No, a bunch of Conference AD's with anti-ND bias and pro-conference agendas decise. The polls will be a lot easier on us than these Conference AD's
Not possible. WIn out with a win over a Temple team that may only have one loss, a Pitt team that may win their division, and a one loss Stanford team (two after ND), and ND is in. There are too many teams ahead of ND with multiple tough games for ND not to keep moving up if they keep winning.
Hope you are right -- not many teams in the Top 10 doing it with a red shirt frosh 3rd string QB and a converted safety playing RB for the first time in his life -- kudos coach kelly for spotting Procise in the spring - kudos
and kudos for tailoring things last nite in the fourth qtr for the offense to win the game for us - kudos
Would need Stanford to win against Utah in the CCG, the week after us and a ton of help everywhere else.
You might be on target - ND is fortunate that Temple and Pitt have solid resumes -- if ND can climb one spot a week from here on out were in .
We would need a lot of teams imploding. SEC will get one in, B1G will get one in, be hard to keep an undefeated or 1loss Big 12 out unless Oklahoma is it with loss to Tejas, and if Clemson or FSU win out, we're definitely behind them.
You might want to be the biggest Oklahoma fan alive. Perhaps, Oklahoma State too.
I know the polls don't, and last year the playoff committee ranked us lower than the polls.
True that, and as I said before I think we are the odd man out, even if we do win out.
