Singer brings up a good point. These polls really don't matter. - ELP - 9:09pm 10/6/24 (11) [View All]

Pundits still a bit cold on Notre Dame despite slew of upsets, [NT] [LINK] - whatsamataU - 7:57pm 10/6/24 (19) [View All]
- it's about more than wins and losses against a so/so schedule...need to look impressive, too. NIU - WestCoastIrishFan - 8:38am 10/7/24
  - Agree. But even blowouts against Army / Navy will be heavily discounted as credibily gains. [NT] - SteveM - 11:00am 10/7/24

The loss to NIU has become less and less relevant. As expected. [NT] - skiptomylou - 2:32pm 10/6/24 (27) [View All]
- That loss will be relevant until the end of time. ND fans will discuss it at least until then. [NT] - ELP - 8:37pm 10/6/24
- It was a horrible, depressing loss. If we win the rest of our games it will be irrelevant. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 7:02pm 10/6/24
- Too soon to draw that conclusion. Already talk about quality of wins AND losses. - LanceManion - 6:11pm 10/6/24
- Always best to lose early in the season... [NT] - Jerseymick - 5:02pm 10/6/24
- I think just the opposite. If we win that game we are top 5 & hosting a playoff game. - sweetbobbyg - 4:07pm 10/6/24
- They still need to go 11-1 which requires a 10 game winning streak - WoodstockIrish - 3:45pm 10/6/24
  - Freeman hasn't come close to that kind of win streak. [NT] - AlbanyIRISH - 4:02pm 10/6/24
    - Won 4 straight after beating bye this week. - ndphysics - 4:24pm 10/6/24

  - Doesn’t Bama currently hold that title? [NT] - whatsamataU - 7:44pm 10/6/24
    - Said Georgia by mistake…ya, Alabama could argue definitely, - BaronVonZemo - 8:08pm 10/6/24
  - Worst loss...sure, but about 7 teams could easily argue they have a better win. [NT] - Chrisb - 6:05pm 10/6/24
  - The problem that I see is that ND has little chance to move up much given its remaining schedule. - SanJoseCAFan - 3:17pm 10/6/24
    - Several teams ahead of us have to play each other - ndunabomber - 3:43pm 10/6/24
      - Teams don’t have to drop much if the lose to teams ranked at or higher than them. We won’t have - ndphysics - 3:48pm 10/6/24
        Teams that lose will not pass us if we keep winning. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 7:05pm 10/6/24
        Gee ya think? What does that even mean? - WoodstockIrish - 6:28am 10/7/24
        Too early to tell. I was just saying that teams ranked ahead of us will mostly fall behind us. Not - THEISMANCARR - 3:08pm 10/7/24
        
        Simple attrition for the teams ranked around ND will lift the Irish if they keep winning - Turkish - 9:22am 10/7/24
    - They will as long as they keep winning. Look how they moved up on a bye week. Lots of chaos yet to - MuskyTommy - 3:21pm 10/6/24
- The NIU loss will hang over Freeman forever, unless he wins a Natty at ND. [NT] - Chrisb - 3:07pm 10/6/24
  - Marshall was a worse loss. NIU played quite well anyways. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 8:09pm 10/6/24
    - Could not disagree more. Marshall was a better team and Freeman was in first year as first time HC.. - Chrisb - 8:32am 10/7/24
  - That loss is his crown of thorns. [NT] - AlbanyIRISH - 3:28pm 10/6/24
- We went from Top 5 to currently outside the Top 10. The voters haven’t forgotten. [NT] - Hensou - 2:38pm 10/6/24
  - That’s a big concern. [NT] - whatsamataU - 7:43pm 10/6/24

  - Seriously? Where would you have ranked Alabama and Georgia? [NT] - SanJoseCAFan - 3:23pm 10/6/24
    - Georgia should be 7. Bama should be 8 or 9. - Hensou - 8:04pm 10/6/24
  - This is exactly the reason why preseason polls should not happen [NT] - ndphysics - 3:11pm 10/6/24
- People blast our schedule but Clemson & Miami both have absolute crap schedules - LanceManion - 2:18pm 10/6/24
  - Yeah...but Miami won both those games...as opposed to ND losing to a MAC team. [NT] - SanJoseCAFan - 3:24pm 10/6/24
    - Fair point. Given the close losses, feels like the ball will bounce the wrong way for UM soon. [NT] - LanceManion - 6:05pm 10/6/24
  - True, but a few years ago, their schedules would have looked strong - ndunabomber - 2:33pm 10/6/24
