Yes, but if they followed the same logic as 1989 (ND beat #1 CU but lost head to head to Miami), we would have finished #1 despite the loss to BC
That, plus everyone hated us. Gary Moeller (Michigan) even voted us down to #3 in the coaches' poll that year.
pollsters, losing the last regular season game factor, the team we lost to wasn't that great factor, the win over then number 2 factor. They played one more game than us and had a tough schedule factor. All those factors but we had the head to head and were 11-1 versus their 12-1. Oh the dislike for Lou Holtz factor.
As an ND fan we clearly should have been number 1.
