Everyone all over Notre Dame after their "big" win against NC State today. I think NC State is a fraud, and as weak a #14 ranked team as you'll see. Their two high profile wins this year came against a Florida State team that we now know sucks, and a Louisville team that, well, also sucks. I predict they lose 3 of their last 4, including Clemson and BC, and either UNC or Wake Forest. Then they'll end up the 8-5 most people would've expected when the season started.
As for ND, I think the only game on their resume that impresses me is their one point loss to Georgia. Their win against USC does nothing for me because frankly, I think the entire Pac-12 is a bit of a joke this year, outside of Washington, so USC's wins against Stanford or Washington State aren't that impressive, IMO. I fully expect ND to run the table from here, and everyone will laud their win against Miami, who is another fraud, whose undefeated record is based more on who they've played than who they are.
All I want for Christmas is the Irish to not be in the playoff. Is that too much to ask? If Georgia runs the table and loses to Bama in the SEC Championship, I'd rather seem them in the playoff than ND.
