If ND is not a lot better than Louisville, Virginia Tech, Duke, Navy, BC, and a reeling USC program......then ND has not returned yet.
If they are starting to approach a year in and year out playoff contender - then these teams should be Patsy's I hope you are incorrect.
I agree - one of these Patsys competing with ND is normal in a "down game" or a "trap game", but if you have ND on the same field as Duke, Navy, BC........then the program isn't approaching where I hope/think it is.
