how do you keep a 4-1 irish team out of the top 25 and put a 4-1 pitt team in? they suck i cant wait to blow them out and shut mark may's fat mouth. they beat south fl big deal. its notre dame hatred and its so blatantly obvious.

we win this week and were definately in, and if pitt can stay unscathed until they roll into to town that would be another good win.

I think we win our next few games heading to LA and roll in there with a top 15 ranking.

But lets just beat nc first, they're gonna be tough.

I'm happy that we have the opportunity to even *sniff* the rankings. A win at UNC should put us in the tail end of the top 25.

I hadn't looked into the ranking until just a few minutes ago. Now I see that Ball St. is ranked at 25? Okay, they're 6-0 good for them. But I would love to see ND get a crack at Ball State.

I'm not real big into the polls but I suppose they are a measure of excellence, albeit a subjective measure. The reality is that our 2-1 start wasn't very impressive but the last two games, and subsequent 4-1 record, have been impressive. Our schedule may be weaker but the first 5 games have been against opponents that we play year in and year out so what's the difference b/t this year and other years?

Interesting Note: This is the first time we have ever been 4-1 and unranked.

It would be great if they didn't even start ranking until week 5 or 6. It's probably not happening this year, but often a team gets screwed because they started off the season ranked lower and they just can't make up the difference between themselves and 2 other teams. I know teams have the chance to leapfrog other teams due to quality of the win, but that doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes it's just too random.

Besides Pitt...I do not see anyone in the top 25 that we could beat...honestly! Ball State has a lot of talent this year and I would NOT want to play them!
