Just curious to hear opinions- If ND was a full blown member of the SEC, what would their record….
…….so far this year???

Yes, there are some good teams in the SEC. There are tiers in all the conferences and there is little difference in the bottom half of most conferences year over year.
would say, their record may be 7-2 ish
perhaps, as good as 8-1
or as bad as 6-3
playing 6 tough games is much harder than playing 4 (Miami, BYU, SMU, Wisconsin)
I think the hope preseason was that we'd see an elite team that we thought had arrived at that status for the first time since the 88-93 years of the Holtz era after the rocky start last year. It hasn't happened. This team has no identity on offense or defense. It frequently looks unprepared. It's talent and easy schedule and some good fortune (like Toney's injury) and chaos elsewhere have gotten it to a playoff position, but I would not be surprised by an upset in the next three games. If ND does get in, I'm skeptical about it contending for an NC. Something just feels off with this team.
That’s a stretch claiming SMU and Wisconsin are tough
let's see how these last few weeks pan out...
