The committee is full of highly intelligent people that look at college football from a different angle than most of the ignorant ape like talking heads at ESPN.

Most of the fools at ESPN don't even know many of the players on the different playoff contender teams.
Many of them don't know who Jaylon Smith or Sheldon Day or Elijah Shumate are. The committee looks at how GOOD the players are on teams and how deep the team is. They see how Notre Dame plugs in talented replacements for injured players like Josh Adams for CJ or Deshone Kizer for Malik Zaire.
The committee said last week that Notre Dame was a solid #4 team and the 5 to 11 teams were distant from #4 but close to each other---by the way many of those 5 to 11 teams lost Saturday--like LSU, Stanford and Baylor.
The Irish are in a better position than most of the other teams because they already played their tough part of the schedule and should not lose the rest of the way--- I knew Baylor was going to lose (Navy would beat them) and I know Oklahoma State is going to get beat down by Oklahoma and Iowa sucks and they will get crushed by Ohio State (and Michigan is going to beat Ohio State). Oklahoma is NOT going to get in over ND if they both finish 11 and 1. The committee will look at the one loss closely- They will note ND lost by 2 points in a MONSOON at the #1 teams house. They will also note that Oklahoma lost by 7 points to a bad team (Texas) at a neutral site.---and they will note that ND crushed Texas 38 to 3.
So in closing I think that many people over analyze the thinking of the committee as to what they look at--I just explained what they look at--It is as simple as that.
The Irish are going to win out including a win over a good Stanford team on the road and will be in the playoff.
Just win out baby !! And ND is in !!
Go Irish !!
Beat BC !!
 
The committee does not think Iowa sucks, clearly. If Ohio St doesn't turn it on like they did last year, they will not blow out Iowa. I agree they should win the game, but they will get a fight.

I was using hyperbole by saying Iowa sucks. They actually are a good team but they could no t beat any of the current top 4----bama, Ohio State, Clemson, or ND. They don't have enough explosive players, IMO.
 
I agree that Iowa is over matched by:

Alabama
Ohio State
Notre Dame
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State

And probably two or three more.

Fair enough, but I can say if ND played Iowa yesterday, I'm not sure they win.

You had me until that statement. Anyone in about the top 35 schools can play with anyone on any given Saturday.
This isn't 115 scholarship rule days, Bodie.

This is hurry up, no huddle, empty sets, zone reads, times in football. Teams are going to get points and get them quickly.

To say Iowa couldnt hang with any of the top 4 is just being ignorant.
They would be underdogs but you dismiss them like total nothingness
 
don't know what you are smoking irishnumberone1but there is no way iowa passes our irish for the fourth spot because they don't have a win yet over any real top quality team yet like our irish have over a really god team like navy and even usc is playing well now after they lost in south bend
