It's rare for a 22-point win against a rival to feel like a disappointment, but given the collapse of the Badgers this past weekend and an overall unfortunate set of outcomes for their previous opponents, the Fighting Irish are probably annoyed that their resume took a hit and prevented any real movement this week. Combine that with continued frustrations over playcalling on both sides of the ball and Notre Dame finds themselves feeling like their season is once again staked on a date with the Hurricanes, this time in South Bend. If Chris Ash is worth the money spent on keeping him salaried, then he'll find a way to at least temporarily halt an incredibly efficient Darian Mensah and smother a superstar in Malachi Toney. Otherwise, it could be a long night in northern Indiana.

Next Week: vs #1 Miami (8-0)
Projected Bowl: Playoff R1 vs Indiana

LW: #3 Average game ranking points took a hit this week with Navy joining Michigan State, Stanford, and Rice as ND’s 4 opponents outside the top 100. Only one strong win over #36 Wisconsin and a close loss to BYU keeping them afloat

Resume really took a hit this week. Best win is over Wisconsin (5-3). Also beat North carolina (4-4). Big chance to move up with a game against Miami.

Power: 2, SoR: 16; LW: 5

7-1. Won 35-13 at Navy and is No. 1 in current FPI. Only loss is to BYU; lacks the win depth above.

No one wants to deal with another 10-2 ND team who lost to the two best teams they played....please beat Miami. Last Week: #7

Lost their toughest game, but they narrowly make the top 12 due to their wins over UNC and Wisconsin looking better than expected at seasons outset. One Miami loss away from getting knocked out of the playoff race entirely in my eyes though...

Quality win over Wisconsin looks good, and their only loss is to BYU, but they have nothing else. If they don't beat Miami this week they shouldn't be in the playoff conversation.

1 missed pi call away from possibly 8-0.

Not sure if we can take much from the Fighting Irish’s game, I won’t say their season rests on this Miami game, but they won’t be controlling their own destiny with a second loss.

-1. Still FPI #1, but SOR #13.

Tier 2.

As before, limited by BYU above them. Close game keeps them at their hip.

H2H is a bitch, ain't it?

Needs to win this week against Miami to stay in the top 10

T5ᵗʰ W/L, T15ᵗʰ Predicted Wins, 4ᵗʰ Team Strength, 3ʳᵈ Quality of Wins
