How many teams right now would be favored over Notre Dame on a neutral field?
- Thread starter notredamerises23
- Start date
This is exactly what a system like F+ is built to answer.
ND is ranked 12th in that system. So 11 teams would be favored over ND on a neutral field as of 10-24-23

We make more money than all of them except like 3 of them yet we are behind 11 of them at least most years. Makes no sense. Gotta get better. Way better, especially when you consider how far ahead the top several programs are.

Now we are stuck with chaseball and his bullshit.
Notre Dame would be an underdog against Oregon. Florida St. and Ohio St. as well.
I dont think so on Texas and Alabama. That would be pick em type. 1 point either way
I can not imagine Las Vegas installing Notre Dame as a favorite over Alabama or Texas.
Notre Dame would struggle to score against Alabama.
Alabama would struggle to score against us. We have one of the best defenses in the country
We are definitely trending in the right direction. The hot teams right now appear to be us, Georgia, Oregon (almost beat Washington), Washington, Florida State and Michigan. Sooners blew it today. Texas is a dark horse.

Sagarin has ND as a pick'em with Washington, but has Kansas State as a .5 point favorite over the Irish.
Ohio St. could be ranked 1 on Tuesday in the only poll that matters.
I think we've had +8 in turnovers the last few weeks. It isn't like we are dominating teams from lining up against them and just running them over. We are benefiting from a ton of turnovers the last two weeks. Turnovers are volatile events in a game that you can't rely on happening going forward, especially when you have no pass rush.
ND is the team ND has been for a decade now. Ranked somewhere between 10-15th.
Other than being stuck with chaseball in this thread, good discussion.

They aren't coming by accident... pressure and athleticism
This is a Championship defense
Well the current top 5 would be favored. I think if you’re giving an honest assessment, you would say ND has a really good team. Probably top 10. But they need to win out including the bowl game. They aren’t quite there. They still have a few missing pieces to get. One of them being an elite QB. The defense has been very good all year. They have had a few bad spots but as a whole , very good. I think we have to be patient with MF. He’s still learning the nuances and is going to make mistakes. But if he is recruiting at a high level, then eventually I believe he will get them where they want to go.
PSU wouldn‘t be favored over ND.
Alabama wouldn‘t be either.
Oklahoma wouldn‘t be.
Texas wouldn‘t be.
UGa by maybe 6-7. Maybe.
UM by 6-7
UO by 6-7 (unlucky to lose to UW as they were better than UW on the road for most of the game)
UW maybe 4 or 5
FSU by 3
OSU by maybe 3.
I don’t think any other team would be.
Turnovers, special teams, and penalties have a big impact on a game but have really low levels of correlation from season to season or week to week. This means that if your team is on the right side of a ton of turnover, penalty, and special teams luck, you can produce big point differentials, upset way better teams, and/or win games you might not have won had you had not benefited from those events.
What you want to see is your team line up against really good teams, and then just dominate them on offense and defense without needing fluky turnovers, special teams TDs/blocks, or penalty luck. THIS is the best sign that you have a top contending team in the sport. And ND can't even dominate teams ranked way down in the 60s with any consistency.

Good thing we've been dominating teams lately then lol
Absolutely obliterated the last 2 teams
I'm gonna stop you at Penn State and say this ranking system sucks ass.
We've put up big point differential but have benefited from a massive turnover differential. This can't be relied upon to continue going forward. ND is what ND is a 9-3 program ranked in the mid teens.
10 and 2 and will finish in the top 10
We outgained Pitt 535 to 255. Screw turnovers, that is dominant.
Your narrative isn't flying. The system sucks
Until ND loses another game in another clunker down the stretch and you go MIA with your tail between your legs.
It is generally; but, it can't be counted on to the same measure going into the future, as you could with a solid defense or a great running game.
Never go MIA like you after we get big wins
How Colorado football and recruiting going?
