    2025 CFB Polls and Rankings

    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?

    '23 CA WR Rico Flores (UCLA Transfer)

    Notre Dame's record since Tyler Horka's "The Irish roster is in complete disarray." post is 25W-4L (0.862 winning percentage). Complete. Disarray.
