Heather Dinich (ESPN mouthpiece) just uttered the newest catch phrase against ND

"Notre Dame is tied to BYU now".
BYU dropped so Notre Dame must drop.

Of course, none of most of the other top teams are tied to any of the teams to whom they lost....just Notre Dame.

They are positioning us because they have to make sure to have a reason to vote ND outside of the top 12 if ND finishes the year 10-2 (even if there are multiple 3 loss teams that they put ahead of ND).
