- That loss will be relevant until the end of time. ND fans will discuss it at least until then.NT ELP 8:37pm · 10/6/24
- It was a horrible, depressing loss. If we win the rest of our games it will be irrelevant.NT THEISMANCARR 7:02pm · 10/6/24
- Too soon to draw that conclusion. Already talk about quality of wins AND losses. LanceManion 6:11pm · 10/6/24
- Always best to lose early in the season...NT Jerseymick 5:02pm · 10/6/24
- I think just the opposite. If we win that game we are top 5 & hosting a playoff game. sweetbobbyg 4:07pm · 10/6/24
- They still need to go 11-1 which requires a 10 game winning streak WoodstockIrish 3:45pm · 10/6/24
  - Freeman hasn't come close to that kind of win streak.NT AlbanyIRISH 4:02pm · 10/6/24
    - Won 4 straight after beating bye this week. ndphysics 4:24pm · 10/6/24
- At present, ND has both the best win and the worst loss..... BaronVonZemo 3:09pm · 10/6/24
  - Doesn’t Bama currently hold that title?NT whatsamataU 7:44pm · 10/6/24
    - Said Georgia by mistake…ya, Alabama could argue definitely, BaronVonZemo 8:08pm · 10/6/24
  - Worst loss...sure, but about 7 teams could easily argue they have a better win.NT Chrisb 6:05pm · 10/6/24
  - The problem that I see is that ND has little chance to move up much given its remaining schedule. SanJoseCAFan 3:17pm · 10/6/24
    - Several teams ahead of us have to play each other ndunabomber 3:43pm · 10/6/24
      - Teams don’t have to drop much if the lose to teams ranked at or higher than them. We won’t have ndphysics 3:48pm · 10/6/24
        
        Teams that lose will not pass us if we keep winning.NT THEISMANCARR 7:05pm · 10/6/24
        
        Gee ya think? What does that even mean? WoodstockIrish 6:28am · 10/7/24
        
        Too early to tell. I was just saying that teams ranked ahead of us will mostly fall behind us. Not THEISMANCARR 3:08pm · 10/7/24
        
        Simple attrition for the teams ranked around ND will lift the Irish if they keep winning Turkish 9:22am · 10/7/24
    - They will as long as they keep winning. Look how they moved up on a bye week. Lots of chaos yet to MuskyTommy 3:21pm · 10/6/24
- The NIU loss will hang over Freeman forever, unless he wins a Natty at ND.NT Chrisb 3:07pm · 10/6/24
  - Marshall was a worse loss. NIU played quite well anyways.NT BaronVonZemo 8:09pm · 10/6/24
    - Could not disagree more. Marshall was a better team and Freeman was in first year as first time HC.. Chrisb 8:32am · 10/7/24
  - That loss is his crown of thorns.NT AlbanyIRISH 3:28pm · 10/6/24
- We went from Top 5 to currently outside the Top 10. The voters haven’t forgotten.NT Hensou 2:38pm · 10/6/24
  - That’s a big concern.NT whatsamataU 7:43pm · 10/6/24
  - Agree. ND is probably right on the edge regarding making the playoff at this point. SanJoseCAFan 3:19pm · 10/6/24
