The two "human" rankings have the Fighting Irish now ranked #4 in the country -- after Florida's defeat to the hands of Georgia yesterday afternoon.
There is not a team ranked ahead of Notre Dame who has as many quality wins as NOTRE DAME. And, that is FACT.
I'm quite certain the COMPUTER ranking systems will take that into play -- which could move Notre Dame ahead of Oregon into the #3 slot in the BCS rankings -- which will be released this evening at 8:30 PM ET on ESPN.
Here's what the Oklahoma coaches and players had to say about their 30 - 13 loss to Notre Dame in front of the largest crowd ever to see them play in Memorial Stadium.
Folks, our Fighting Irish are 8 - 0 with wins over EIGHT TEAMS WHO PLAYED IN BOWL GAMES last season -- not a team in AMERICA can make that claim! FIVE OF THESE TEAMS HAVE BEEN RANKED this season -- not a team in AMERICA can make that claim either!
Navy
Purdue
Michigan State
Michigan
Miami
Stanford
BYU
Oklahoma
The most recent victim -- the Oklahoma Sooners -- were held to 15 yards rushing as the IRISH win going away 30 - 13. BIG, BIG, BIG WIN for NOTRE DAME in front of the largest crowd ever to see Oklahoma play a football game at Memorial Stadium!
Now we need to beat Pittsburgh!

Former Notre Dame All-American -- and three-time NBA World Champion -- John Paxson was back home "sans hair" with his Chicago Bulls. Paxson, the Executive Vice President of the Chicago Bulls met with Jack Nolan before last night's exhibition game with the Pacers at Purcell Pavilion.
Folks, you're going to love the Paxson interview -- he's a class act.
It's a little more than ten hours until kick-off of #5 Notre Dame vs. #9 Oklahoma in Norman. The game will be televised LIVE in PRIME TIME on ABC at 8 PM ET -- and I can't wait!
