First, ND has won all three games with a spotty offensive performance and better than average defense. Can it get worse, possibly, but it can also improve
Wake Forest on the road is a win. They are not very good and ND has the better athletes, steady progress but close game
Stanford, under the lights ND should be up for the game and should win a close one to make the team 5-0
Va Tech will be tough but even with a loss in a close game ND stays in top 10 because Va Tech will remain one of the top teams in the country
As for the rest - Pitt, FSU, and USC all home games and likely a win. Two road games NW and Cuse are also likely wins
So the team sits at 11-1 only lost on the road to a top 10 Va Tech team and ND stays in the final four. Where upon they will get the beat down that will likely be administered by Bama as being number 1 playing number 4. Just hope it's not tOSU at 1. It will remind us all that ND can be good but is not close to winning a National Championship in today's environment. For some that's enough, not me. I just like to win.
Thank you for your attention.
