What is your argument for why he is wrong? Other than 4-1? What's your thesis?

It's pretty well flip a coin once you get by #7.

Agree. Top 5 have separated for sure.

Seems fair. All slightly better than average

Nah, dude has an agenda...those are only three ranked teams not on his ballot.

Unfortunately, ND's play gives those with an agenda a big microphone & a spotlight center stage.

True, but when ESPN power index has ND #7, LOU #12, A&M #18...
it screams fishy that those are the ONLY teams ranked in the Top 25 that this guy omitted.
So you're telling me there is not one other team that everyone else has ranked that this guy disagrees with, besides ND and the two quality teams we beat..sorry but that's fishy as F even with how short our performances have fallen from how we think we should look.
This looks like a guy intentionally misusing his vote for a personal goal with LOU and A&M simply being collateral damage since he couldn't really rank two teams we beat while leaving us unranked. My guess is he's one of these guys who thinks ND should never be in the playoffs unless we join a conference, even if we were 12-0.
Be honest Chris…based on what you’ve seen you really think we deserve to be #7
In whatever the hell tbe ESPN power index is? A team that lost to NIU?
I think having us at #7 right now is equally as ridiculous as having us unranked..
My understanding is that the ESPN power index is the Sagarin ranking, or a close derivative of it.
There are many years Sagarin had us much lower than I felt we deserved, now he apparently has us much higher, so I dunno what's going on with that one.
Yeah, I don't disagree with you at all. Voters definitely have agenda's and it sucks. I was more
just saying ND isn't helping ourselves.
If we came out and curbstomped everyone that we should and didn't have a disaster at QB (offense) then clowns like this would look dumb. Instead, they look rational, or you could easily make a case and get on board with their intent because the on-field product hasn't looked far off his assessment.
I don't agree, but It's not a shock at the same time.
Somebody got a thin letter.
