Weird. Reading the board, I was convinced our schedule sucked balls and our wins were accordingly pretty bogus. Computers apparently don’t know much.

I know…..the big bad boilers. Give me a break.
So besides us, who has Cincy played? How many quality wins does Michigan have? OSU lost their only tough game. Same with Penn State, and they just squeaked by a Wisconsin team that we annihilated. And it goes on. People need to look around a little. And style points don’t matter for this topic. I am not arguing we should be ranked higher, but perhaps that what we have done thus far is not as bad as some argue.
Our ranking is about right.
hold serve and finish close to the top 4 though most likely falling short of playoffs even if things go as I said. Everyone out there is beatable and even Alabama will be eliminated if beaten by Georgia.
they would almost certainly jump all these teams:
Ole Miss
Iowa
Michigan State
Michigan
Oklahoma State
Penn State
And possibly these if they lose in their conference championship games:
Oregon
Cincinnati
The ones that would need to really screw up (i.e. 2 losses from here on out):
Oklahoma
Alabama

Losing late in the season is almost always penalized big by the polls. Especially for a Group of Five team. The committee has also said repeatedly that they consider how good they think a team is at the current moment. It is not at all unusual for a team to be ranked ahead of another team who they lost to. It happens all the time.
Do I think it likely? No. Do I believe it's possible? Yes.

The #2 team in the country just got exposed as mediocre at best.
Do I think we are very good right now? No.
Do I think we could have knocked off the #2 team in the country on Saturday??? Yes.

Just because you’re a homer? Is that why?

Shocking there would be biased ND fans on an ND fan board!
just got thoroughly owned by a team we owned and Penn State got beat by Iowa. Yet they both get placed above us?
One loss teams ahead of us:
# 4 Alabama - Beat by #17 Texas A&M
#5 Ohio State - Beat by #10 Oregon
#7 Penn State - Beat by #11 Iowa who got beat by #25 Purdue who ND owned
#10 Oregon - Beat by Stanford who isn't even ranked
#11 Iowa - Beat by #25 Purdue who ND owned
#12 Mississippi - Beat by #4 Alabama and should legitimately be place above ND
#13 Notre Dame - Beat by #2 Cincinnati
How convenient to use that kind of logic since it suits your argument.
You did watch the Cincy and VaTech games?
trolled the game against Va Tech and prevented FSU from running all of them, ND would be top 10, maybe top 6 right now.
And probably Iowa. Rankings will work out though over the next few weeks one way or the other.
That’s why we are 14th
