Are they a better team in general, on paper, right now? Yes.
Are they unbeatable? No. The Irish can beat them, so they are not outclassed.
Was the Citadel outclassed by Alabama for 30 minutes? No. Can Notre Dame go longer than the Citadel? Clearly yes.
The Fightin' Irish need to believe first, and then execute second, and they can absolutely beat the Tide.
