If only the fielded 11 players on that last play vs Ohio State, maybe we are talking about them with Texas and Washington as a possible #1 overall. Next Week at #23 Louisville : 6.5 pt favorites : Prediction - Wins and Covers the Spread

LeWoofle	12	Good win against a scrappy duke team; it hurts to wonder what might have happened if they had fielded 11 players on those two plays against OSU. Either way, this team is by far the most deserving 1 loss team, and on a power ranking poll would be much higher.

YellowSkarmory	18	Notre Dame marks where 1-loss teams start to come in – if you have a win over a team with a winning record and are undefeated, you're ahead of ND, but if you don't you're behind (except for Liberty, I'm sorry but I legitimately cannot look at FIU and consider them a good win wherever you play them – besides, it's Liberty, does anyone care if they get screwed over?). I'm still sad or frustrated, I don't even know, about the ending of our game against them. I just hope our defense keeps us near a blue Iowa range until Leonard's healthy enough to play – I think we can get to UNC only dropping the game to FSU without him.

JetoGrov	10	Progressing from a last second loss vs OSU to a last second win @Duke earns the 1-loss Irish a top 10 spot. I'm choosing to see this as Duke is actually quite good (though w/o Riley there may not be much proof of that from here on) and ND's only loss barely happened so I won't dock them too much for it. Preseason "right" rating: 6/10...I called 9-3 and this team looks better than that...then again, they could easily be 4-2 right now, and still play USC and Clemson so we'll see

ColombianInIowa24	17	A testament of a win against Duke. My team gave a good fight before surrendering a terrible 4th and 16 in the last minute for no good coaching reason. Prevent, prevents wins. Following that up by destroying our QB (cleanly I may add, no hate against the Irish, just poor luck of the draw), Duke plummets out with a cloudy future. Outside of issues with gas left in the tank, Notre Dame looks spectacular.
