There are only 3 teams that are not pretenders

OSU, Georgia and Alabama. Every single other team is more likely to wilt over the season and 4 game playoff run.

Had ND retained Alt and Fisher for their senior seasons, then we would have been the fourth team in that group- but we didn’t …and then we had multiple, critical injuries on the OL and DL

We have as good a shot as any team beyond them.

  • Pundits still a bit cold on Notre Dame despite slew of upsets, [NT] [LINK] - whatsamataU - 7:57pm 10/6/24 (19) [View All]
    • it's about more than wins and losses against a so/so schedule...need to look impressive, too. NIU - WestCoastIrishFan - 8:38am 10/7/24
      • Agree. But even blowouts against Army / Navy will be heavily discounted as credibily gains. [NT] - SteveM - 11:00am 10/7/24
        • Maybe not if they are undefeated ( drug residue wish) [NT] - whatsamataU - 12:38pm 10/7/24
    • At this point it’s all about trajectory and demonstrated improvement [NT] - LanceManion - 8:04am 10/7/24
    • If the pundits watch ND play, I don't blame them. - AlbanyIRISH - 5:20am 10/7/24
    • ND viewed as a pretender. Penn St. should be too. Can't see them as #4 [NT] - SteveM - 9:30pm 10/6/24
      • There are only 3 teams that are not pretenders - BaronVonZemo - 9:42pm 10/6/24
        • I think you are ignoring Texas [NT] - D2 - 12:08pm 10/7/24
        • In an earlier era Alt and Fisher would still be here [NT] - MarkHarman - 8:16am 10/7/24
          • Do you mean before 1990 when underclassmen were allowed to enter? Alt needed to go pro - Turkish - 9:11am 10/7/24
        • Thx Agree on your analysis. ND as pretender based on sparse signature win record, not roster talent. [NT] - SteveM - 9:51pm 10/6/24
          • Coaching then? Since Lou?? [NT] - whatsamataU - 12:40pm 10/7/24
          • We have a top 5 defensive team and a top 30 (not even) offensive - WoodstockIrish - 6:23am 10/7/24
            • Top 30? Based on practice reports? [NT] - ndphysics - 9:58am 10/7/24
              • Thinking it’s worse? I was being nice [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 4:02pm 10/9/24
    • We got physically manhandled at home by a MAC team who is 3-2 - ndphysics - 8:53pm 10/6/24
    • Losing to a MAC team at home will do that. [NT] - Frank L - 7:59pm 10/6/24
      • Yup. [NT] - irish93 - 8:08pm 10/6/24
        • Pundits as in Insiders / experts? Fans are wait & see also. - ELP - 8:34pm 10/6/24
