20th in latest CFP (Nov 20)

Well duh the ND/Bama game was a blowout in the 1Q while Auburn/Oregon went to the wire. C'mon now.

Alabama blowing out LSU in 2011 got higher ratings. You like ND that is fine they aren’t the top brand in college football now. That is absurd.
Ohio State had more fans than ND at the Fiesta Bowl when Jaylen Smith tore his ACL.
They are one of the top brands but the top brand in college football is not Notre Dame.

We are #20. #11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17 all have the same record as us. #18 and 19 have a worse record than us. So this comment makes little to no sense.

We laid one egg all year. Against a team that's going to the playoffs.

So we are ranked at the back end of the 3 loss teams. We have no top 25 wins. I really don't think we can complain much about ranking.

Good news is with a win at BC we should start next season ranked in the Top 25 and then start the season on the road to face Liberty & Maryland before coming home to possibly face Clemson.

No way we start the year T25 after graduating our 4 year starter at QB.

You hate ND that's fine. Just don't let hatred get in the way of analysis. ND is a national team. Just look at their roster and their fan base. All over the country. They easily have a more national fan base than any other team in the country. That isn't even debatable. And not only the fans will tune in but the haters like yourself will as well.

Alabama and LSU played a MUCH closer game than ND and Bama did.

Btw OSU has an enrollment about 3x the size of ND.
