3. There is NO way a 7-2 team

should be in the top 10.

4. So, you have a problem with ND, but NOT OSU???

They're there because they play amuch harder schedule than some of these pansy-ass Big 12 and Big 10 teams, and BARELY lost to undeniably the best team in college football this year. Texas will be lucky to get a first down in the Rose Bowl!

[democracyindanger]

9. They also BARELY lost to unranked, 5-5 MSU.

And ooooooh...Navy...that's a football powerhouse for ya...from the 1930's.

[joeybee12]

10. They beat Michian (when they were ranked #3) Purdue, when they

were ranked.

Come back to me after MSU beats over-rated Penn State this weekend.

[democracyindanger]

11. Only suggests they're all overrated.

The stunning defeat of overblown, 5-5 Pitt is also something ND can trumpet about.

[joeybee12]

12. Youforget, Pitt was ranked when ND beat them...

...yeah, they probably should not have been, but the polls are such that when you beat a ranked team (at the time) it helps. ND kept beating a lot of ranked teams and moved up, only to lose in the last few seconds to the undeniably best team this year, and did not drop at all in the polls after that.

[democracyindanger]

13. They also jumped 3 spots in their bye week.

From 12 to 9 in the human polls for doing absolutely nothing.

ND's a good team, but no way is it a BCS team. No way.

[joeybee12]

15. You act as if that's the only time and the only team it has happened to...

...they jumped because teams ahead of them lost--it's that simple. Happens all the time.

Oh, and how did Va Tech jump over ND this past week when they were idle and ND won?

Com on, you know they deserve to be where they are. You're just being stubborn!!!

5. good point

The computer polls put Notre Dame 13th on the average. They're sixth and seventh in the human polls. Know why? Computers don't care about how many of your ex-players are in the NFL, who your head coach used to be, or how shiny your helmets are.

[Longhorn]

6. And amazingly those same computer polls have Texas ranked

Number 1! So something really fishy must be going on! :think:

Or maybe the computers don't reward for those untangibles that you mentioned that human voters can't seem to forget?

[RagingInMiami]

8. Computers don't care about the Gipper either

[davidinalameda]

7. My Eers will pick up at least a couple more spots before the end

of the season

when UCLA gets blown out by USC and Ohio State chokes again versus Michigan

14. Typical ND bashing

Everyone of you fuckers who like to bash ND because they haven't played anyone were the same sons of bitches who were saying that they would be lucky to win 3 games this year. Everyone that they have played and beaten were highly ranked when they played with the exception of Tennessee and Navy so you can't come back and say that they are not a good team, and you can't come back and say anything about them playing Navy. That is the only team that they consistently play that is not a good team because of the debt that they feel that they have to the Naval Academy. All of the other major teams in the BCS play chump teams in the non-conference schedule. Notre Dame always has the toughest schedule in the nation year in and year out. They are the only team that played SC tough in the last couple years. They will be in the BCS and you have to deal with it.
