ND moves up in the AP Poll

Now at #7 after a weekend of eating cheeseburgers. That's when you know you got a good squad.

They want them highly ranked going into Georgia.

Because Michigan dropped. But at least we now have 4 ranked teams on our schedule, as USC and Virginia entered the poll, while Stanford dropped out.

USC will probably drop out next week

Pac12 is virtually eliminated with exception of Utah.
Stanford, Oregon and Washington already have a loss with head to heads still in front of them.

Mildly frustrated that we cannot point at Bama for scheduling New Mexico State.

Who's they ?

Beat Georgia and they will be in the playoff mix.

Bama beat the snot out of ND last time they met! Any ND fan calling out Alabama for any reason except maybe cheating (whatever that is these days!) sounds ridiculous.

Bama will have played LSU, Auburn, TAM and UGA to get to a CC, and ND?
ND fans would take 2-2 against those games and smile!

Doesn’t ND have Bowling Green coming up?

I agree the Pac12 is basically eliminated, but if Oregon wins out, they have a good shot. Losing a close game early in the season is easy to overcome.... especially to a team like Auburn (if they in fact finish the season with a good record). It isnt if you lose one, but when you lose it.....

New Mexico this week, who is worse.

I said we CAN'T complain even though we took the better team from NM and BG would beat most of the FCS most of the time.
