Along with Clem and Stanford in the top 10 should take care of the strength of schedule arguments. Win out and ND is in.
Pitt & Temple in Top 25
- Thread starter Nocalirish
- Start date
Only bad part is that ND needs to win all 3, and all 3 are on the road. And that has not been a strength of the Kelly Era.
They lost at Clemson, and struggled at Virginia. I know there was a lot of drama that went with both. But drama is part of the game. And players find a way to play in big games.
Hopefully Kelly and company channel their inner barnstorming heritage and kill it in the second half of the season coming off the BYE week. To me the two of the most under rated teams in the country right now are Stanford and Temple. Both have tough defenses and the ability to burn you

The times they threw at me in the fourth quarter, they didn’t have a completed pass, because I started really challenging the receiver. I started playing the ball more. I mentally took on myself. I said to myself, ‘Be the athlete you are. Be the player everybody knows you can be, and the player you know you can be. Start making more plays.’ I had to turn it on. It’s the fourth quarter, and the game is close. We keep talking about making the big play on defense, but we haven’t made it. Just go out there and make it. I told my team, I always make plays against S.C. I said, ‘I’m going to make a play. I always make plays against USC.’ I told the staff, ‘I’m going to make a play against USC.’ That’s what I do. I find a way.”
