Beats a pathetic GT team... barely!
Beats a horrible Penn State team.
Then gets the shit kicked outta them by an average Michigan team...
... and they're still the #12 team in the country??????????????????????
Hell, once a bad MSU team beats them next week, they may fall to #21 in the country.
I'm of the belief, that ND could go 0-13 and still be in the Top 25!
The joke is on the "college football fan" and we keep buying what they're selling.

College Football Fans, that have to wait another week til' the next game.
Do you have a thought on ND's ranking, or did you have nothing better to do than post on a topic you didn't care about?

It is not that I do not care about the topic. My personal opinion is that rankings are meaningless until 2 or 3 weeks into conference play. As far as ND goes, let me see a game or two more before I can rank them. Rankings are not simply "win-loss" but how the past opponents fare as the season progesses. The season needs to progress in order to make those determinations.

Well, of course... those are common denominator's
I was looking for
personal opinions.

My personal opinion is that I do not like ND and I think they should be ranked outside of the Top25. Personal opinion and reality do not always coincide.

What is the meaning of this gibberish?

According to your logic, they were only about 27 or 28 plays from a win.
All three teams than ND has played would beat Cal.

Average?
I'll admit the jury is still out, but i don't think there is anything average about Michigan at this point in the season.
Its not like we got our ass kicked by a middle of the road SEC team or something.

I like Notre Dame more than the muslims do; and regardless of one's fan base......they almost ALWAYS play the toughest schedule in the nation.....and deserve the requisite props.....

We do because most years after week 3 we're done and have no shot at anything but a bowl game named after some appliance or yard tool.

On the road, yeah. In Berkeley, probably not.

Do you mean in strawberry soda pop canyon? Maybe not. Michigan would for sure, GaTech would have a good chance, and PSU could possibly do it. On a neutral field, I'd take all three over Kal.

Don't even know about Michigan, what with the way Michigan routinely loses whenever they come to the west coast early in the season.
Georgia Tech? Cal probably beats G.T. in Berkeley.
PSU? Probably beat them too in Berkeley, this season.
Neutral field? Like...a bowl game?? Depends on whether there were any expectations on Cal. If not, they'd be fine. If the conference needed 'em to step up and win a big one they'd of course get fudgepummeled.

The west coast/Michigan thing was them pulling their typical lose their first road game (Whoops

). They also had John Navarre for all of those losses. One of which was because of horrid officiating (go figure) and the other two were special teams break downs.
GaTech would load up the box, blitz and force Booya or which ever "protege" was playing QB to beat them. This year, I'd take that match-up all day long.
PSU's front 7 is very good, so if they shut down Lynch and made the above mentioned "protege" beat them, it would bode well for PSU. That and PSU's receivers could cause match up problems with Kal's DB's, much like Tennessee's did.
