Isn't it sad that a team can be ranked 21 one week and 10 the next from a win. We would have to be 12-0 to even break the top ten. I guess if they win this week they will be ranked number one and playind for a national championship. Roll Tide!!1
 
A jump like that is not possible in week 10, but in week 2 anything is possible. The pollsters know that they were guessing with early rankings and make huge adjustments in the first 4 weeks.

Tell me, who derserves to be ranked above them based on the first two week's games? They look as good as anyone else in the game right now. Forget where they started. It is immaterial...
 
I for one think ND looks pretty good. Everyone talks about their Offense but their Defense isn't bad either. They sure did a good job on Meeshegan.
 
They've beaten two ranked teams in two weeks with a new coach, including the #3 team in the land, on the road, no less. Not too shabby, IMO. Wheather or not these teams are overrated, is irrelevant, at this point.
 
I almost had to run to the bathroom and wretch my barbque into the porcelain throne last night after one of the expn announcers got so jacked up over the NC film clips that he started comparing them to the New England Patriots. Also they beat a highly over ranked Michigan team who probably shouldn't have been ranked in the top 20. But such is life. They ain't gonna give us nuthin'. We're gonna have to take it if we want it.
 
As much as it pains me to say it, I have to agree with their ranking. They have beaten two ranked teams on the road. Ok, maybe Pitt and Mich were overrated, but that just highlights the problems with preseason polls. But that is the system we have, so we have to deal with it. If ND is overrated, then it'll show up when they face USC or UT, but until then they are 2-0 vs. ranked teams. . . pretty impressive.

it doesnt pain me, I am glad to see the "classic teams" back, if I recall correctly ND, Penn State and Bama are 2-0? It feels good to see these teams back. Face it, if we can get back to the National title game anytime soon, I hope it is against ND, I think Bama owes them some payback....Besides if you beat notre dame in a title game and there is another team like in 2004. Lets say Bama faces Notre Dame in the BCS title and someone like Va tech was undefeated playing Utah, the "media bias" will play to our favor if you beat a notre dame. I take the half full approach.. take those lemons and make a lynchburg lemonade. :D

Exactly, which is why there should be no polls until at least the 5th week of the college football season. We don't know who is and isn't a good team right now. We know next to nothing about every team out there.
 
A Perfect Example of why I hate Notre Dame

From unranked to #10 in America! Please give me a freakin break!
No other team in the NCAA could make a jump like that in the polls, no matter what team they beat. I hate Notre Dame and this is just one of several reasons why I feel that way! And another thing, Notre Dame got very lucky against Michigan. Can u say tipped pass in the end zone? Without that lucky play Notre Dame probably doesnt win the game. Pittsburgh is awful... they are now 0-2. What about all the teams that were ranked ahead of Notre Dame and havent lost yet? Im sick of the golden domers and i hope they get waxed by Michigan State and everyone else on their schedule, except maybe USC because Bama needs someone to knock them off their perch!
 
Getting upset over the polls at this point in the season is ridiculous. As the wins and losses pile up, a clear picture will emerge, and then feel free to get upset about the polls. But right now, Notre Dame has one of the most impressive wins in the nation, maybe only behind Texas beating OSU on the road.

yep and if Bama beat the #3 team I would expect the same ..and it does happen. Not just for Notre Dame....I am happy for them, now lets get us some victories and worry about the polls later.
 
aggies in a tither

I slipped over to the aTm board for kicks, they are nearing meltdown...How can Notre Dame win their first two road games with a brand new coach - they've got more road wins this year than Fraud has in three years here...Notre Dame did something Fraud never has, beat a top ten team, and on & on.

I thought I'd post a link it's so funny, but now they've deleted the thread, imagine that.

Pitt is 0-2 and lost to Ohio (not Ohio State) University...and Mich...lost the only offense it had last year to the draft. didn't ND beat Mich last year also...??? and then from there it was all down hill. I'm a big fan of Weiss, but I don't think ND jumps 33 spots in two weeks (pre-season #33) base it on who they beat. Pitt, is well pitt, and well mich is overrated.
 
I for one hate Notre Dame, but at this point, name me 10 better teams in the first 2 weeks than Notre Dame. They have beaten two top 25 teams, one who was ranked #3 and poised for a NC run. I don't think they can keep it up all year, but they've always had the talent and always will just because of who they are. All they needed was a good coach and it looks like they have one. I hate Notre Dame and before this week was mad at how quickly they rose in the rankings from 47 to 21 but after beating Michigan in Michigan with a defense that performed so well, I'd have to agree, they deserve a top 10 spot at this point in the season . . .
