I don't see it. ND's schedule just turned out to be fairly weak this year (no offense to Sagarin or what he is smoking). And, let's be honest, this team hasn't been great. I will give them a lot of credit if they scratch out 11 wins. It has been a struggle. But I really think they are improving. Winning tough hard-fought games maybe bringing them together.
Write it down. They have a shot at cracking top ten but they aren’t making the CFP. Wait to the first CFP rankings come out; our pathetic SOS will factor decidedly.
