2025 CFB Polls and Rankings

[2013Irish]

10th in final AP poll




Bama @ 9.

Idiots can't help themselves

Who gives a shit? They're kind of obligated to vote a certain way with the CFP. It would be naive to expect them to reshuffle the deck after the postseason or reward ND for opting out of a bowl.

It’s still funny to point out and except for bama this isn’t really true-Oklahoma for example dropped significantly (which gave us room for the top 10 finish).

Great. Color me devastated that we didn't secure the 9 spot.

That's a lot better than some of the ones I've seen.

Espn has us 3.. ass kissing is officially beginning

 

[rtrn2glory]

RJ Young (Whom I have no idea who the fuck he is) constantly ranks us low, so it's obvious he puts his "I hate ND" blinders on.

Complete and obvious douche bag that knows nothing about ball to have us outside of the top 10

I think Ari Wasserman has us in the top 5, too. He's trying to get back into the good graces of ND and their fans lol

 

[Rasputin]

9 of his top 20 teams are from the SEC? Is it safe to assume this person hasn't watched college football the last three years?

ND is wrong by 9 spots

 

[GATTACA!]

ND is wrong by 9 spots

Come on man we're definitely better than JMU and Tulane.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Does the CFP come out w/ a final poll or do they leave it up to the AP since their main charge was to select the CFP bracket?

Regardless, nobody remembers 2-25 or at least it doesn’t matter unless you’re a poverty program that has never been ranked high.

 

[NDPhilly]

ND overperformed their “talent” level in 2024 and 2025, where we had a team that was 9-10 in team talent but finished power rated top 3 each year. Pretty damn impressive and bodes well for the future.

IU is the exception. If you look across the sport, team talent still mattered a ton. These sites are going to get better at properly grading transfers impact as well over time.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Haven’t been on X since the final AP poll but I’d bet a pile of money that BYU fans are absolutely raging that ND finished ahead of them despite choosing to opt out of the processed food bowl.

 

[calvegas04]

So many sec teams still being ranked in early pre season polls, guess that will never change

I did my part and didn't watch one damn bowl this year. Hope others followed suit and their numbers were down, but I doubt it.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

Put them wherever people want. Enjoy the off season of shit talking. Everyone that isn't on the ND schedule thinks they'd beat ND.

 

[BeatSC]

ND should be ahead of Bama and over rated TT. Blow outs should matter. ND is 4 points from the #1 or 2 seed. Two teams will enter next season with a ten game win streak or better. ND and Indiana and Indiana’s last loss was an ass whipping to ND. ND tied with Ohio State for best odds to win it all next year. That while losing the two best RBs in CFB! What does that say about the committee embarrassed for those assholes. ND being screwed over is the impetus for expanding playoff to 16 or 24 teams. Hope they leave it at 12.

And we think we would beat Indiana and last time we played 12 months ago we kicked their ass.

 

[burmafrd1944]

a four loss team at #9
AP is just as corrupt as the committee

 

[ThePiombino]

ND is 4 points from the #1 or 2 seed.

Correction: ND was 4 points from the 5 seed.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Yeah I don’t know what to tell you man we are in the heart of the offseason now the choices are talk about stupid shit or don’t talk about college football.

They did away with that rule. They are eligible for a bye now.

 

[ulukinatme]

Pretty fuckin' spot on. Lulz on USC.

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

AP just proved how useless it is. to have Ohio St any worse than 3rd is ridiculous. They literally lost to the two teams playing last night.

Honestly, those were the only 3 I would accept us being behind.

If you care who is best, ND is #6 in the computer composite.

Keep the pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[greyhammer90]

I'm a bit worried that the narrative will be so much of a thing next year that it will become a distraction or cause tightness in the team. The good news is that Freeman is generally pretty adept at pressing the right buttons for his teams.

It's a good point, but I think he'll insulate them from what the outside world is saying, which will mostly be "join a conference" and "you're quitters because you didn't go to the Pop Tarts Bowl."

Let's be real honest here, the general public are not intelligent. The people who read the articles cringe at the comments, while the people making the comments likely didn't read the article. That's where it's at. Keepin' it real. Real stupid.

This coaching staff is smart and the players in the room are smart. They should be able to block out most of if not all of the noise.
