this narrative has more weight than the head-to-head at the beginning of the year. ND cannot be ignored as a "paper tiger with a week schedule", when it defeated Georgia, Indiana, Penn State, and made it a game against OSU LAST YEAR. And ND has a better offense at this point in the year vs. last year.

I think the committee recognizes those facts.
