Next week ND should be ranked...

Kingbish01 · Sep 3, 2018

I think this week will be easy to predict, as they have to come in #8 after week one... Right?

BabyIrish · Sep 3, 2018

Yeah I think they’ll be 8.

dad4aa · Sep 3, 2018

8 would be my prediction as well

IrishSteelhead · Sep 3, 2018

The real question is what they will do with LSU. 15? Higher? Lower?

I think you nailed it, I'd say they come in right around 15. Maybe as high as 11

I only type the above because none of it matters this early and won't matter until we're hopefully looking at playoff pairings. Until then, f vck the noise

But, carry on.

I care enough to come into the thread and tell you that I don’t care

OhioIrish31 · Sep 3, 2018

Just take care of business each week and move up a spot each week so that we are right where we need to be at the end of the season. I think rankings matter to recruits so if we move up faster than that then so be it. Just take care of business along the way.

stlnd01 · Sep 3, 2018

It doesn't matter until at least after the Stanford game. And even then not really until after the FSU game. Myself I'd rather we win games, rise slowly and stay out of the playoff picture as long as possible. Have seen too many overhyped Notre Dame teams stumble over the years.

Thought I'd drop this here.

Michigan ahead of Wisconsin is absurd.

They must really like ND and believe Michigan lost to a really good team. That's the only thing that makes them being in the top 10 with a loss reasonable.

This! It's too early to worry about rankings. Just win and move on to the next game and work our our mistakes from the last game. Keep getting better every week!

Miami last year... best to stay off the hype train... just do your damn thang, ND.

My feelings too.

After Week 1, the only think I can say decisively, is that we should be ranked ahead of Michigan.

Cheers and Go Irish!!

LOL at Texas at #26.

Imagine if they had actually beaten the 56th ranked team by FPI, who are in disarray due to the death of one of their teammates, an ongoing investigation of abuse in the program, and the suspension of their head coach.

How about Washington, who is ranked ahead of Auburn, who just beat them.

Edit: see Heysus already mentioned that. This system makes the RPI for basketball look legit.

It's a statistical model that's notoriously bad early in the season, during which it still heavily weights preseason data. It's not intended to be a ranking of the body of work this season, it's a prediction of who would be expected to win on a neutral site.

The correct analogy would be RPI one game into the season.

ESPN: Michigan stands tall after a loss in our rankings, because their opponents/opponents/opponents/opponents/opponents/opponents/opponents/opponents/opponents/opponents/opponents/opponents SOS is very solid.

I say ND will be 6th.

Senoj13 · Sep 3, 2018

I think 8th is about right. Hopefully Michigan is better than what we saw Saturday and knocks off a couple of the Big10 elite

Thanks for pointing out what the comment was about: "bad model at this point of the season". No issues with FPI or advanced stats long-term.

wizards8507 · Sep 4, 2018

#4 in Schlabach's power rankings.

Fbolt · Sep 4, 2018

I concur.

BabyIrish · Sep 4, 2018

Mandell has us #8
