I think it's because the press and the coaches often take their perceptions of ND to extremes. Its either completely irrelevant or the location of the greatest turnaround in college history. They're worse bandwagon jumpers than typical ND fans.

I don't think we are a Top 10 quality team; we haven't shown the offensive consistency yet, and we are not keep enough to survive injuries, especially on defense. We've still got a long way to go, starting with a Michigan State team that will be amped up to take advantage of an overconfident Irish team, if we're not careful.

I hate it when we get these kinds of huge leaps this early in the season, because they can raise expectations to an unrealistic level. The same thing happened in 2002. IMO, we aren't Top 10 until after we see how we stack up against Purdue on the road and SC and Tennessee at home.

Word of advice the rest of the year: Listen to Herbstreit and hit the mute button whenever anyone else is talking.

Herbstreit is the only one with a lucid thought and he has already stated that ND will return to prominence within 2-3 years once recruiting gets rolling. I'll take his word for it because he's the only one with any sense of football and how the game is played at the college level.

Flat out agree with this.

Ditto. Also, pre-Pitt game Herbstreit was stating he thought the Irish would be better than what the nay sayers were predicting.

Herbstreit was going nuts Saturday for ND. He flat out said that in 2-3 years the recruits will be coming to CW rather than him seeking them out. The system is designed to make offensive players NFL ready and the defense plays a team scheme that exploits individual strengths and masks weaknesses of each individual. KH said any WR recruits would benefit from going to ND in particular.

He's very honest and impartial. Everyone else has agendas. He has even picked against OSU and is honest with himself about the team despite is allegiance.

And he has picked the last three or four national title games correctly, including OSU over Miami.

No he's not. He picks the Buckeyes to win every single week.

I recall him taking Iowa to beat them last year and they did.

He admitted last year they weren't as good as they should have been. If we're going to say that everyone on ESPN is unprofessional and biased, stop watching them. It is a waste of time.
