Doogitywoogity	11	Past few games have been what the Irish need to answer after the Miami and A&M losses. USC is going to be a great chance to prove that they can still win against good teams. I may have been a bit hyperbolic in saying only Navy would be a potential ranked matchup. As I now have USC and Navy ranked, and Pitt isn’t too far out of the rankings.

HieloLuz	17	After starting the year with back to back close losses from Miami (FL) |2| and Texas A&M |1|, they've played much better. But their best wins are all tier 5. USC |2| this week and Navy |3| week 11 are the only remaining games of any difficulty left. Any loss ends all playoff dreams.

Zef_Apollo	19	Welcome to the party ND. I finally feel good enough to put you into the rankings. It still feels premature based on wins. They have been impressive blowouts but against teams you should be blowing out. Since your 2 losses are within 5 points to my #2 and #4 teams by 5 though, I think an exception can be made. A win over USC next week and probably move up a few more spots.

Kirkwood641	5	Lost by a combined 4 points (one game on the road) to the #2 and #3 team. They would win against the rest of the field.
Nath0leon	5	#4 FPI, #7 resume. Overly penalized by humans for 2 close losses to elite teams
FrontRunner51	6	(+4); This seems high, but other than their two close losses to #3 and #5 they've been dominating their opponents. Big test next week vs. USC.

_THE__BOULDER_	18	I might get some flak for this but I had knocked ND out of the rankings after starting 0-2, but I've been moving them up as they've won games. I know their losses were to Miami and A&M, both of which look to be very good and possibly elite teams. My expectation is that I will keep moving them up as they take care of business and I fully predict them to have a 9-10 win season. They've been taking care of business against teams they should be eating for breakfast, so that's been looking good since their initial losses, and they've only played P4 teams except Boise, but they've basically beaten the brakes off teams they should beat and lost to the good teams on their schedules. I want to see how they handle some of the stronger teams coming up on their schedule before I rank them too highly, and early season losses start to hold less weight in my mind as the weeks go on. That being said, potential big game against USC this weekend.
