I don't think I will ever figure out why we are ranked behind Notre Lame in these human voter polls.

The only test they had was against USC which they lost, just like we lost to Texas. That is a push.

We lost to PSU, and who was their second best opponent, scUM who we also beat.

They lost to a team not even going to a bowl game for crying outloud.

And Va Tech gets exposed at home by a team that is once again vastly overrated as they proved yesterday by losing to GT at home.

 

[rocketman]

Lot more votes for Texas after USC-err, I mean Reggie Bush beat Fresno State, while the rest of the team looked pretty average. Texas is going to destroy them in the NC game.

Because they're Notre Dame, the best damn program in the land.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

wheres the rest of the polls?

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Because they're Notre Dame, the best damn program in the land.

No, actually it's because they're "America's Team", per Lou "Slobber-meister" Holtz.

 

[gold_pants]

Va Tech has no schedule and gets it handed to them at home but higher than us. Crazy.

 

[NOTREDAMECHIEF]

As I said earlier I sure as heck did not watch a top 10 ND team yesterday...

 

[BrutusMaximus]

I don't think I will ever figure out why we are ranked behind Notre Lame in these human voter polls.

Because of all the catholics?

You mean Daffy Duck?

The thing to look at is how narrow the gap has gotten between OSU and ND.

Less than 50 votes in each poll iirc.

They look anything less than dominant next week vs Stanford and we will jump them in the human polls imo.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

I wonder if Stanford will even come to play. I see Notre Lame in a romp.
