Cherrypicking how one undrafted player did in the NFL to draw the conclusion a program couldn’t compete against big boys is....something.

2008 W 37-32 Oregon (#10 final AP Poll)
2008 L 17-16 TCU (#7 final AP Poll)
2009 W 19-8 Oregon (#11 final AP Poll)

2011 W 35-21 Georgia (#19 final AP Poll)
2011 L 36-35 TCU (#14 final AP Poll)
2011 W 56-24 Arizona State
Lets not forget they beat mighty Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.
Boise State is good, but they do not have the offensvie linemen to protect their QB like they did in the past. Plus, Boise State needs to find a placekicker to make the field goal. That is what is killing them. Boise was leading Okie State at one point.

Duke and Wake used to be two of the worst A5 programs. Not anymore, e.g. Duke has beaten B1G and Big 12 opponents the past two weeks. Wake could surprise Notre Dame next week.
If Vandy hadn't turned it over in the red zone a couple of times they could have surprised them yesterday. Vandy's better too. But a 5 point win at home in which the game was in doubt until the end isn't very convincing of a top 10 rating now is it?
Notre Dame has been unimpressive since beating Michigan. If they are that way again this week, they could very well lose to Wake and then the problem of their top 10 ranking will solve itself.
If they keep managing to schlep by, though, well more power to them.
Well, Notre Dame has gone 13-3 in its last 16 games.
That mark includes a 35 point win versus Southern Cal, a New Years Day bowl win against LSU and a win against Michigan.
That trifecta makes me very happy.
(ND has gone 2-1 against the SEC in that time, the loss being by one point to Georgia)
The offense is sputtering, but so far...3-0 this year.
Just win, baby. I am not worried about style points.
Are they a Top Ten team? Time will tell, but likely not. More likely in the 11-15 range, I think.
I see very few impressive college football teams this season.
If ND continues to "schlep by" and win games like in 2012, well, that beats the alternative, I guess.
A lot of verbiage here, none of which disagrees with what I said, LOL.
Didn't know I had to disagree to post. I didn't see that in the board rules.
I am just saying that I enjoying ND winning ugly over ND losing in any manner.

Of course Quo! That's what attorneys do when they don't have a case to make. Besides Terry D. is pretty sober on his annual expectations so a little hope is always in order.
I was not trying to "make a case". If I was, I did by pointing out ND's record the past sixteen games.
I always have hope. I had it last year, and it mostly paid off.
I have it this year, too. It may pay off too, time will tell.
Is this post ok? Is it alright for me to post without "disagreeing" or "making a case"?

I just stuck with the Kellen Moore era since he was specifically mentioned. Boise is a little overrated nowadays.

I was confused because you *seemed* to take umbrage with my post, when what i was saying was really defending Notre Dame. Namely, that while ND hasn't looked good the last two weeks, bottom line is they have won, and as long as they keep winning, even if they don't look good doing it, they will deserve a high ranking, particularly with their tough schedule.
Nothing wrong with having hope, that's what being a fan is all about.
