@PaulieTakes needs to worry less about keeping ND out of the Playoffs and worry more about keeping @PaulieTakes out of the fridge...

 

[arndtjc]

KFord LOVES ND. None of these remaining games need to be remotely close

Best defense they've faced: Miami at 12th, also faced #29 A&M, #51 Boise, #54 USC, #82 NCSt, #87 Purdue, #97 Arkansas. Will face #88 Navy and #31 Pitt. Best offense they've faced: USC at #1. Also faced #4 A&M, #7 Arkansas, #19 Miami #37 Boise #41 NCSt, and #80 Purdue, will face #22 Navy and #38 Pitt.

No you don't understand over 30 years ago BC beat ND and BK struggled against Navy a couple of times so we should all be very nervous.

 

[dublinirish]

couldnt they go to some FCS matchup instead?

Freeman managed to eke out a win over '22 Navy in addition to keeping things close in losses to '22 Marshall, '22 Stanford, the joke that was '23 Clemson, and '24 Northern Illinois, '25 ND has had all players and coaches performing at a high level in all facets at all times, and injuries, penalties, miscommunications, and turnovers aren't real, so there's no point in tuning in to watch ND play four P4 teams and undefeated Navy down the stretch. Victory, victory, victory, victory, and victory are assured.

Everyone on this board and in the larger ND sphere believes ND is a playoff team and is already pounding the table for us to be in the CFP. If we're a playoff team and as good as we think we are, we will handle Navy and BC.

I agree they look like a playoff team. I just hope they keep looking that way.

 

[ulukinatme]

LSU still ranked as high as #20 by one guy. Ranked by two total.

View attachment 3060870

Look at these bitches ranking ND 16 & 18, Javon Edmonds and Bob Ballou. Honestly any ranking that has Louisville, Virginia, Cincinnati, Tennessee, or Missouri ahead of us is a joke. Those teams also have 2 losses that don't compare (Like Tennessee losing by 3 scores to Bama), or in the case of Virginia it's a lone loss to NC State who we whipped and UV has no impressive wins now that FSU is 3-4.

 

[RDU Irish]

Southern Cal and San Diego votes for LSU is so bizarre. Fully expected that to be SEC homers.

take it easy...

I welcome shitfaced college coeds flooding downtown on Halloween weekend.

 

[MacIrish75]

They got confused and thought it was LongBeach State University.

 

[LifelongFan]

would guess the CFP rankings are something like:

1. Ohio State
2. Indiana (could see them at 1, best win)
3. A&M
4. Bama
5. Oregon (better computer ratings than Georgia)
6. Georgia
7. BYU (expecting record to matter more even though they haven't played anyone)
8. Ole Miss
9. Texas Tech (make a top 10 matchup next week, good computer polls)
10. Miami
11. Oklahoma
12. Notre Dame
13. Louisville (Do they put them over Miami and us?)
14. Texas (team i could see being weirdly higher than this)
15. Vanderbilt
16. Georgia Tech
17. Utah
18. Virginia
19. Missouri
20. USC
21. Michigan
22. Iowa
23. Tennessee (could see them being over the 2 loss B1G jamboree)
24. Memphis (need a G5 team in there, could see them being as high as 20)
25. Cincinnati (Washington maybe?)

Miami will be around 18, not 10 after losing to SMU. ND will likely be 10th.

Oklahoma not jumping ND with a loss to unranked at the time Texas.

 

[stlnd01]

Saw Heather Dinich projected us at 10. Behind BYU, Oregon, Texas Tech, ahead of Texas and Oklahoma. No ACC teams in her top 12, so we'd actually be the last at-large in that scenario.

 

[KPENN]

#10 in the coaches poll

 

[dankgesang]

I have ended my home, car, motorcycle, boat and term life insurance policies with Allstate on the basis of their playoff predictor being such dogshit. Sorry guys but it seems reasonable to make inferences there about their ability to do basic actuarial math.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Fans just bitching because we are top 10 when 90% of them didn’t play anyone week 1 and week 2

[Dale]

#10 in AP as well

 

[Dale]

Georgia Tech drops to #16 and Miami to #18.

It would seem unlikely the AP and CFP have a 8+ spot gap with regards to ND and Miami. The Fighting Irish will be above the Hurricanes.

2 Loss SEC:

#11 OU
#13 Texas
#15 Vanderbilt
#19 Missouri

 

[NDMD]

Miami will be around 18, not 10 after losing to SMU. ND will likely be 10th.

Miami #18 in AP

I think Biagi had something against Allstate by they way the kicking game was avoiding earning money for the Allstate Good Hands scholarships yesterday.

And I'm here for all of their crying.

[SportsingHard]

Notably, ND's special teams peformance thus far is rated higher than Ohio State's, Texas Tech's, or Alabama's.

 

[SportsingHard]

Tennessee is now the 3rd highest ranked (AP) team in the state of Tennessee.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Notably, ND's special teams peformance thus far is rated higher than Ohio State's, Texas Tech's, or Alabama's.

Thanks to the punting and kick returns

 

[SportsingHard]

Well, yeah. And OSU, TT, and Bama are rated as high as they are thanks to those phases they excel at.

 

[NDWarrior]

I’m surprised Pitt is not in either the AP or Coaches Top 25.
