Only one (ND) of the AP top 25 is ranked in the top 25 academically.

The 1980's are in the distant past and there is too much money involved in making the NF to waste time earning a degree.

Oh... and OSU might just as well be an SEC school.

So YES! This is the best we can hope for.

We are a Louisville level team in year 3 of Freeman with a loss to a MAC team. To the kumbaya guys, - Frank L - 1:51pm 9/29/24 (23) [View All]
- My feeling is had Angeli started we'd be 5-0 and scoring 30 points minimum per game. - DiscoRick - 4:41pm 9/29/24
  - He can throw a ball downfield and is a better runner than given credit for. Also been a loyal ND guy [NT] - Frank L - 10:02pm 9/29/24
  - I think we'd have the same record but loss would be to A&M instead of NIU. [NT] - Chrisb - 5:32pm 9/29/24
    - Yeah, maybe. But w/ Angeli more hope for the rest if the season. [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:37pm 9/29/24
      - Depends on OL IMO... - Chrisb - 7:55am 9/30/24
  - There is not enough of a body of work for Angeli to know this. Would could be 3 - 2 or 2 - 3 with - michiganirish - 5:02pm 9/29/24
    - This is not even true. [NT] - oldirish - 8:45pm 9/29/24
    - But Ive seen enough from RL's passing to know Angeli is better at that. [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:38pm 9/29/24
      - This is true. [NT] - Chrisb - 7:55am 9/30/24
  - At least platoon them and go with the hot hand. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:44pm 9/29/24
- Same old story. If the stars align, we’re a top 10 team; if they don’t we’re top 25. - LanceManion - 4:34pm 9/29/24

- It’s average for us for 30 years. 8 to 15 ranking is about right - ndphysics - 2:21pm 9/29/24
  - Maybe, although if you average in some of Ty Willie’s, Chuckle’s and Big Game - Frank L - 2:59pm 9/29/24
- Great job by Freeman and our coaches to lead a MASH unit to victory over #15 Louisville. And no, of - ND521 - 1:58pm 9/29/24
  - Thin at OL so the QB gets the most carries over Love … - IrishFan82 - 2:04pm 9/29/24
    - I don’t understand calling more QB runs than love gets [NT] - ndphysics - 2:09pm 9/29/24
      - I agree. [NT] - bobdrake - 5:45pm 9/29/24
    - Right into the teeth of the stacked front also. [NT] - Frank L - 2:06pm 9/29/24
  - So how do we explain the losses to Marshall, Stanford, and NIU in the Freeman era? - Frank L - 2:04pm 9/29/24
    - NIU was on Freeman. Stanford on Freeman, P12 refs & Kelly's QBs. Marshall mostly on Kelly QBs. [NT] - ND521 - 2:19pm 9/29/24
    - Denial… [NT] - whatsamataU - 2:07pm 9/29/24
  - Well stated. [NT] - michiganirish - 2:02pm 9/29/24
