Notre Dame Cheated by Polls, Not Awarded Ranking


Although I attended the University of Notre Dame, I consider myself to be pretty objective when it comes to judging Notre Dame football. I can admit that last year they weren't that great of a team. Though I wouldn't say they were as bad as some people did.

So after seeing the ND game against San Diego State this Saturday I have to wonder why the f--k the Irish are not ranked after showing the nation they are not a team that will go down easily this year!? Did the coaches and sports reviewers not watch the same game I watched?

The Notre Dame offensive line gave up zero sacks in the game! Whoa! And when San Diego State approached their goal line, threatening to go up by two touchdowns, the Irish dug deep and showed that they are a top-tier team this year by forcing a fumble at a crucial point in the game. Those heroics were like something out of a movie! Further, when the Irish needed to get another score in the fourth quarter, Clausen led the team down the field like clockwork with one big completion after another. If Notre Dame were a team more like the sort you see in Florida, they could have even run up the score at the end for a more dominating score.
