I hate to say it, but you gotta put Texas in over Notre Dame
Two victories over top-10 teams (not counting Vanderbilt) and beating a common opponent we lost to. If you say the loss to Florida was bad, so was ours against Northern Illinois.
2-2 against the top 10 is good enough to overcome the Florida loss.

You should prolly be the first to know, NIU was last season. Sorry to break such hard news to
you during the holidays.
And Texas has 3 losses. Another hard news item you prolly weren't aware of. Apologies.
My obvious point is a bad loss might not matter to the committee if there are good wins

I'm somewhat worried about the common opponent comparison
Losing to a team that Texas beat.
Ultimately, I think the committee takes early-season games with a grain of salt... hopefully. Because clearly right now ND is one of the five best.
You do realize that Texas has the worst loss in the current CFP top 25, right?
The only one remotely comparable is Arizona St to Mississippi St, and their time in the top 25 will be over in less than 2 minutes. To go above ND they would also have to go above Miami, and if Miami wins tomorrow, that is also going to be a tough sell considering Miami easily beat Florida just a few weeks before Texas lost to Florida. Florida has THREE wins so far, to a average FCS team, a 2-pt home win vs Mississippi St, which is 1-7 in conference.....and Texas.
Texas has shiny wins, better than ND. They will easily be the highest ranked 3-loss team. But they have an anchor of a loss, a beatdown from Georgia, and that is what will ultimately hold them back behind ND.
The loss to NIU doesn't mean anything this season.
But if you want to mention it, it was the only loss for ND last year, Texas has 3 this season

Not really but I also find it interesting that Archie Manning told Manning to not forget to use his
legs. He made five backbreaking first downs by using his legs including the TD.. I have always told you guys that the plays that the QB makes with his legs kill a defense more than with his arm. I am not saying that passing is not important or that you cannot win with it but the legs plays by the QBs are the ones that kill a defense and sometimes allow a lesser overall team to beat a better team.
I also say if Reed does not go down for that one play and he ends up leading his team to the end zone instead of running a shit play and then having the kicker mishit a short field goal, the wind might have been taken out of Texas' sales.
Losing 35-10 to Georgia and to 3-5 Florida, 2 bad losses. 1 good loss to OSU. Nd would be ...
... eliminated with that record. And so should Texas.
Hope you're right. And right now ND is clearly one of the 5 best teams

Texas should move to 13. No higher. I don't think they bump Miami
If anything, take BYU out of there.
Lost to 3-8 Florida.

Good thing you aren’t on the committee.

Mark’s not necessarily wrong. ND’s resume not great and the committee may remember the awful
Game against BC
They also barely beat UK, with a losing record. They won’t jump us.

This was no bueno for ND. Feeling trouble ahead.
Does the aTm no holding call vs ND count when the committee talks about things ?
(no message)
Maybe. But they will never say it

They aren’t jumping ND with 3 losses

Two losses were to #1 and #4. By definition, if you're .500 against the top 10, you're top 10, too

That's not necessarily true because there are good teams that would win them. I mean Michigan the
year they won the title played very mediocrely until about the last four games and their schedule was horrible. I don't care if we are number 12, I feel we are capable of beating any of the teams.
“Good teams that would win them”….wow.

Agree
Texas lost to 3-8 Florida and got throttled by Georgia.
I’m more worried about that douche of a coach at Tex Tech realizing if they lose to BYU they could
Reduce NDs chances of getting in.
