No other team draws the national width of fan support.

In today's world it's the $ from tv ratings that dictates everything.

Looks like if Miami beats Fla.St. they should cruise rest of the year. But A&M has a tough schedule. - DiscoRick - 9:12am 9/30/25 (18) [View All]
- If being honest, ND should not be in top 25 right now. Being ranked at 0-2 was unreasonable. [NT] - NDblues - 12:20pm 9/30/25
  - Disagree. Rankings should be based on how good a team is. - NDNEIL - 10:02pm 9/30/25

    - We should be ranked high because people like to watch our games? - WoodstockIrish - 7:16am 10/1/25
  - I disagree, if a holding call is called at the end of the A&M game - sweetbobbyg - 2:30pm 9/30/25
  - Please list the 25 teams you feel are better than ND [NT] - irishone - 2:06pm 9/30/25
    - I certainly cannot do that. But being ranked 22 with zero wins was not reasonable. - NDblues - 3:23pm 9/30/25
      - Which is why a 43 point victory over an SEC team did very little for us. - WoodstockIrish - 7:17am 10/1/25
      - False. [NT] - Chrisb - 10:11pm 9/30/25
  - On the other hand, do they want to encourage playing weak schedules? - DiscoRick - 12:55pm 9/30/25
  - False [NT] - Chrisb - 12:22pm 9/30/25
- still amazing they have never won the ACC, after winning 5 national titles from 1984-2001 [NT] - DonMiller - 11:16am 9/30/25
- If ND misses out because of a putrid defense, MF will need to really assess how Fall camp was manage - WestCoastIrishFan - 10:48am 9/30/25
  - I think the 3 headed monster of MF, Ash & Mickens can get us through 2025. - ELP - 11:05am 9/30/25
    - Agreed. And if they took the handcuffs off CJ earlier, they probably win those games despite the D. [NT] - DiscoRick - 12:58pm 9/30/25
    - I agree they are on MF. Perhaps he's still learning, but he either wasn't paying attention or every - WestCoastIrishFan - 11:09am 9/30/25
- I think we can spin a story to get into the top 12 if we win out w/explosive O. But, we'll see. - LanceManion - 10:46am 9/30/25
  - The O will help, but I think an improved D does the trick for the committee. If ND looks like - DiscoRick - 10:53am 9/30/25
