BabyBladder 6 There's a fairly reasonable chance that I have ND higher than any human voter. Here's why: 1 point loss to a top 5 Georgia team, and likely playoff contender. 20 point victory over a Michigan State team that belongs in at least the top 25 (higher IMO). Scored 49 points against Temple and Boston College, and 52 against Miami Ohio. Not an amazing victory against North Carolina, but a calm and in control victory.They are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. If they weren't coming off a 4-8 season, they'd be a top 10 team right now. They look fantastic, and they're top 20 in terms of Scoring offense and defense.If they beat USC after their bye week on October 21st, it's time they seriously enter the playoff discussion.Why I could be wrong and fall on my face: This rating is contingent upon both Georgia and Michigan State being as good as I think they are. If so, ND is legit. If they're both about to collapse, then I could totally be misreading ND. Still, they scheduled tough opponents and performed well against them, which is a reward in my book.

T-Thugs 6 The Irish make a huge jump in my poll this week thanks to Michigan State's big win. MSU jumps high on my list of 1 loss teams and Notre Dame stomped them in East Lansing.

stripes361 12 Notre Dame jumps from 19th to 12th this week largely because I forgot to jump them last week after Georgia's ascendancy. In the same way that Ohio State's ranking was hurt by Oklahoma's loss, Notre Dame's home loss against the Dawgs no longer looks bad enough to ignore the dominance they've displayed in the rest of their games. For what it's worth, ESPN's FPI has had the Fighting Irish at #10 for a few weeks (this week's Sagarin ratings also have them 10th) and the human rankings are finally catching up to the computers.

boonamobile 14 5-1 against otherwise 17-12 (58.6%) competition, with no FCS opponents and wins over #15 MSU, Notre Dame's lone loss came against #5 Georgia. For now, games against mediocre-to-bad G5 competition (Temple, Miami OH) are holding them back.
