joebob431 1 The poll recognizes ND's win over Stanford to be the single best win any team has collected so far this season. The addition of a win over Michigan means that Notre Dame has 2 top 20 wins, more than any other team in the country. Note: Although the poll doesn't incorporate roster changes into its methodology, the change to Ian Book really aids ND in putting rough games against Ball St and Vanderbilt behind them.

T-Thugs 2 Undefeated. Best wins - Stanford (4-1, wins over Oregon and USC), Michigan (4-1). Had to ignore that ND beat LSU in their bowl last year in my ranking. If ND beats Va Tech this week, I think they should be #1.

Charlemagne42 3 1277, -216, 1061; Let's not get carried away. Stanford was a very good win, and ND's other major victory continued winning this week, but let's temper our enthusiasm and remind ourselves of reality: ND is not better than Bama.

moistats_ 3 It was a solid win against Stanford, and these kind of performances will outlast them into the CFP. The schedule is pretty rigorous, there are a ton of talent, top coaching experience, etc. I repeat since week 0, Notre Dame has what it takes to the CFP, and now they are executing more of it.

Miami_da_U 4 They stomped Stanford. Combined with the close win vs Michigan to start the season, they deserve to be ranked top 5. However I believe they will regress back down once other teams start playing quality opponents. I think they might lose to VTech on the road. FSU and USC while they aren't very good, I think those are 2 teams that have the athleticism to beat ND. Up to this point their big games have been against teams that play their brand of power football. I think you beat ND with Speed.

TheJeemTeam 6 1/3 in Tier F/G: Michigan was the only team in Tier F and I was going to rank ND as the top team in Tier G, placing them right below them. Bc Michigan was the only team in their tier and ND beat them H2H, I made a judgement call to combine the tiers so that that I could rank ND ahead of Michigan.

woakley 6 Notre Dame hops over LSU. Stanford may have been overrated after a week where they should have lost to Oregon, but ND still deserves credit for dominating such a talented team.
