I don't think they're one of top five teams in America right now, but I do think they are good and getting better. The problem, as you're well aware, is they lost big to their only quality opponent (Michigan) and don't play anyone great again until USC, who I don't see them beating.<BR/><BR/>I do believe Auburn is a better team than Notre Dame - I ranked the Tigers 7th and Notre Dame 9th in my last poll - but I'm not sure about Cal or Clemson. Those two, Notre Dame, Tennessee and LSU are in the same boat. Who's captaining it will clear itself up in the comming weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-1160592955409460322006-10-11T14:55:00.000-04:002006-10-11T14:55:00.000-04:00I really can't understand why Notre Dame continues...I really can't understand why Notre Dame continues to rank in the Top 10 of most of the polls. Last week they beat the hapless Stanford Cardinals 31-10. Stanford had been beaten by a wider spread by all of their previous opponents including Navy, Washington State, Oregon & UCLA<BR/><BR/>Notre Dame barely beat Michigan State, another hapless team. They edged Georgia Tech. <BR/><BR/>I just don't get it. Cal, Auburn and Clemson are all superior teams that deserve to move up. <BR/><BR/>Next week when you vote think about it and move Notre Dame to the spot that they deserve 13th at best.<BR/><BR/>Mark McAdams<BR/>markmcdms@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
