I think winning out puts us on the bubble.

I think we likely get in at 10-2, just because there are always gonna be 2 loss teams in a 12+ team Playoff and there aren't any 2 loss teams above us, but I wouldn't consider it a sure thing.

There are currently 8 1-loss teams above us, so how many of them drop below us with a 2nd loss vs how many don't take a second loss

Then there are 12 unbeaten teams, maybe 3-4 of them fall below us with first loss, but the rest we need to lose 2-3 games.

So yeah, we got our work cut out AND need some help.

      - Applaud Kelly for what he did. It can’t be denied that he rebuilt a moribund program. - Sjnd5359 - 1:17pm 10/3/25
      - Well? He was dragging down our all time win % his first 11 seasons. [NT] - Chrisb - 8:33pm 9/29/25
        Before Kelly got here ND was making Tate Forcier a Heisman candidate [NT] - Fisher01 - 11:35am 9/30/25
        So instead of Forcier, Kelly made Shoeless Joe Jackson or - IrishChristopher - 8:38am 10/1/25
        
        So because he did better than dumpster fire coaches that makes him really good? [NT] - Chrisb - 12:33pm 9/30/25

  - He's a very good coach - ndunabomber - 5:23pm 9/29/25
    - He's a slightly above average coach. Great win % vs inferior teams... - Chrisb - 8:38pm 9/29/25
  - Didn't care for him one way or the other but he had a pretty good career at ND - NDQuebec - 4:45pm 9/29/25
