There is a high likelihood more than 1, 3-loss teams get in out of both the Big 10 and SEC

I understand there is lots of football to be played. But ND will likely not have a quality win (beat a team in the top 10 or even top 15) to offset two quality losses.

The selection rules are different this year than last and you know that means "over-correcting" for last year. The emphasis this year will be on SOS as well as quality wins since many teams will have quality losses. Unless both Miami and A&M win their conferences, we are pretty much cooked since we have almost no possibilities for a quality win(and we might need 2) About the only possible quality win left is vs USC and USC would have to run the table on the rest of their schedule, which based on what I've seen of them, isn't likely. And we'll know more about that nest week.

It is what it is. I'm not being pessimistic, just realistic. We all knew a transition year was in store with a new qb lacking in any experience, a new coordinator, lots of talent but little experience and a major loss in leadership, especially on defense.

  • Would everyone relax about a 10-2 Notre Dame if that happens - MarkHarman - 8:14pm 10/2/25 (17) [View All]
    • Win tomorrow first but has anyone watched SC play?? Not highlights but watched them play?? Yes - Frankx - 10:37am 10/3/25

    • Agreed, brother, ENJOY the ride, be grateful, ONE DAY AT A TIME! Here COMES the IRISH... [NT] - KWIRISH - 9:27am 10/3/25
    • Agree. If any 10-2 team (non-conference champ) makes it-it will be ND. See my response on the open - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 12:29am 10/3/25
    • As an example - USC will beat ND if the ND Defense doesn’t play better. 9 - 3 - jimbasil - 11:13pm 10/2/25
      • I agree and that’s my concern as well. Based on the eye test, the ND defense doesn’t match up well - jray - 7:55am 10/3/25
        • No worries. I will be at the game. Will see that it's properly addressed... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 10:01am 10/3/25
          • I appreciate that!!! Lol. [NT] - jray - 2:44pm 10/3/25
      • There was vast improvement vs. Arkansas so there is that hope - MarkHarman - 1:03am 10/3/25
        • Combined with a really bad Hawg team. [NT] - whatsamataU - 7:44am 10/3/25
          • Come on, this is misleading. - lacan - 2:53pm 10/3/25
          • The Arkansas QB wasn’t that good and missed some easy throws. [NT] - jray - 7:57am 10/3/25
            • Lots of drops too [NT] - jrdjr84 - 12:31pm 10/3/25
      • USC's starting center is out [NT] - ndunabomber - 12:20am 10/3/25
    • Only if the Defense improves. Right now they are not very good. - notredame678 - 11:02pm 10/2/25
    • I refuse to relax… - TakethetrainKnute - 8:18pm 10/2/25
      • I highly recommend a poop. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 7:58am 10/3/25
