Folks, this is not a story about WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN -- it's a story about WHAT WILL BE. It does us no good to look back at the last 15 minutes in Columbus or the debacle vs. Marshall or Stanford -- nothing can be done about this...
This is a story about what Marcus Freeman & Company are building here at Notre Dame. We haven't won a game in this fashion -- against a top ranked program -- in thirty years...
This is the story.
Now, let's also add this to the narrative -- what teams, as of last night, have beaten more teams in the TOP 25 than Notre Dame -- the answer is NO ONE!
Here's the list of the teams ranked in the TOP TEN along with Notre Dame -- with their number of wins over teams ranked in the TOP 25, as of last night:
- NOTRE DAME -- 3 wins
- CLEMSON -- 3 wins
- GEORGIA -- 2 wins
- TENNESSEE -- 2 wins
- TCU -- 2 wins
- LSU -- 2 wins
- OHIO STATE -- 1 win
- MICHIGAN -- 1 win
- OREGON -- 1 win
- USC -- 1 win
- ALABAMA -- 0 wins
* Notre Dame also beat #16 BYU at the time -- they are not currently in the TOP 25.
