PrimalCookie 9 2.472 - Quality losses! Woo! This is an SOS ranking just as much as Georgia’s is: ND’s played 4 teams in this top 25 and went 2-2. Their opponents overall are 26-7 vs non-ND FBS opponents, and 3 of those losses are Navy. It’s a bit high for my liking, I’d have them around 15th in a human poll, but not too unreasonable IMO

T-Thugs 14 Notre Dame is tough to rank. Really great wins including USC (6-1) and Duke (5-1). Tough, close loss to Ohio State. Also have a loss to Louisville who kinda dominated them. I've got them as my top 2 loss team thanks to their good wins.

nw____ 17 I still have questions about their offense. Big ones. Not sure what the game would've looked like if Caleb Williams didn't throw 3 picks, but their defensive front was pretty much unblockable against USC. They'll hang around against most teams with a defense like that, even if their offense stinks. Last year, I started calling them Green Iowa. I think the nickname is still pretty appropriate.

70stang 25 Welcome to the Notre Dame Tier. What even is this team? Are they really good, beating USC and Duke for 2 ranked wins? Are they bad, losing to Louisville and Ohio State? I have no clue, but my algorithm does. ND takes this spot over any other 2 loss team, because they have 2 ranked wins and their two losses are to ranked opponents, and they are the only 2-loss team to have played 8 games so far.

CallingUagoatUgoat 10 2 SP+ T-25 wins (Duke, USC). 1 SP+ T-10 loss (Ohio State). 1 SP+ T-50 loss (Louisville). I need Notre Dame to make up its mind. They've got good wins but a pretty bad loss on their schedule.

_TGT7 14 Notre Dame gets a dominating win against USC, which I didn’t expect, but isn’t surprising. Now that Notre Dame is done with their Gauntlet, they get to go into the bye week to get some much needed rest. Lots would need to happen for this team to make the cfp, however.

FlashSpider-man 15 A 2 loss team this high? But one loss was a really close game against OSU. Killing USC really wipes the mind of the bad Louisville loss. They did a great job getting pressure and rattling Caleb Williams.

throwaway_6786 15 What to make of this team? I don't think it's too bold to say that they're the best two-loss team in the nation, but how should I reconcile ND losing to OSU and Louisville while beating Duke and USC? They almost seem to be two different teams depending on the week. I decided on this spot because of how they shut down a USC offense that looked to be one of the best units in all of CFB.
tisofold 15 Absolutely brutal schedule this year, came out of a tough 4 week stretch with 2 solid wins and 2 respectable losses. Best of the 2-loss teams by far.
