Doogitywoogity 12 Massive win for the Irish, I would probably have them higher had Miami not just lost and the mid-upper tier SEC and ACC not solidified the way they had. Luckily ND can sit around and wait for them to cannibalize themselves. Navy and Pitt look like the biggest challenges left.

_THE__BOULDER_ 12 Their only losses are to Miami and TAMU, and they've been blowing out their weaker competition. Still, USC is a fairly good team, and some have pointed out that they have one of the most explosive offenses in the sport, but Notre Dame was able to keep them to 24 points after taking the lead late in the 3rd quarter. If ND keeps cleaning up, they should end up with a 10-win regular season, with games against some potentially decent Navy and Pitt teams coming up but not many other speed bumps on the schedule. ND had one of the bigger jumps for me this week, from #18 to #12, as the main argument against them is that the lost to the best teams on their schedule (in very close games). USC is definitely their best win, but there are other teams with better wins and fewer losses ahead of them.

noah_divine 14 I totally forgot to include them in my ballot when I first submitted - very embarrassing. Anyways, that USC win is doing a LOT of heavy-lifting for a 2-loss team.

StFuzzySlippers 14 Another wierd pick for me this week is dropping ND after beating a good USC team. The chaos this week forced me to look at my ballot with fresh eyes, and inertia was pulling ND up a bit too high for a 2 loss team compared to the new influx of 1 loss teams. This position feels a bit more comfy for them and lines up with the wins and losses on their resume.

DarthGlazer 17 I still don't love ND. USC played like shit in south bend and still kept it close. we've seen in the B1G how the conference travel affects the teams, and I just don't see ND being better than any of the teams above them. Close losses mean nothing to me, they still lost.

LightningDusty 19 ↑NR We're at the point in the season where two losses doesn't look so bad. Considering Notre Dame has two very close, respectable losses, AND they just picked up a quality win against USC, they deserve a ranking. 10-2 will more than likely get you into the playoff.
