And #’s 13 and 14 are nipping at our heels

ND still more Qs than As. Big 12 should start at #12 or below. Riley sucks or PSU exposed, etc.

Quality win by LSU and voters know Mr. Hyde is still there somewhere

Alabama should be below us. Last 2 games they’ve had trouble with huge underdogs.

'Bama could lose 3 games and still be viewed as a playoff worthy team.

Perceived over all strength of the SEC

Sad but true.

But the teams they play (and beat) are far better teams than our crap schedule

You are assuming they will beat the remaining teams on their schedule.
Not a given. If we win out and they lose another game we should be ranked ahead of them.
Hmmmmm….and so are you assuming we finish 11-1??
Your point is?
The SEC has 8 teams in the top 25 while the Big has 6 with 3 in the top 5.

Vandy and SC are not among them.

And shouldn’t be.

Yet Bama lost to one and barely beat the other at home.

What is your point? We lost to NIU
You don’t think we’re better than Alabama do you?
Alabama should be around 10.

That means we are hanging by a thread in some people’s minds. ?

We likely need help to get in
which means all the teams on our schedule need to win. We might have gotten in with one loss but that one loss being NIU isn't going to cut.
USC beating PSU would have been very helpful and while Purdue losing probably isn't a big deal, it would have been better to win.
We probably need 2 teams on our schedule to be "in consideration" for the playoffs which means A&M and Louisville since there really isn't anyone else to help us unless hell freezes over and Army/Navy work themselves into the mix as a group of 5 consideration. It might be the height of irony (and I don't think it is going to happen) that NIU beating us would be both their ticket in and out ticket out.
Our goose is cooked unless A&M can get in.
JUST WIN, ND! The rest will happen!

Don't look now but both Army and Navy are ranked
Could help with the schedule strength if ND beats both
11 in the coaches. Win out and this all should come out in the wash

Not surprising at all
LSU beat Ole Miss, so it was entirely expected that they'd jump.
I don't think it's meaningful at this point in time.
For Notre Dame, it's really simple this year. Win out and they're in. Lose one more and they're out.
Agreed
Lots of football to be played, and a lot of teams ahead of us will fall.
We just have to take care of business on our end and not have another NIU moment.
Does the AP poll even count towards the CFP rankings?
Iowa State also jumped ahead after we were tied with them
(no message)
They should have. They beat a much better team and we lost to err…….NIU at home.

Plenty of time for pretenders to get exposed.
