A Reality Check for Notre Dame -- RANKINGS
Let's look at how the College Football Playoff Committee looks at the teams with 2 losses in their latest rankings -- specifically Auburn, Ole Miss, UCLA, Michigan State, Kansas State, Georgia and Arizona -- compared to Notre Dame.
Frankly, if we're being honest -- looking at our quality wins (we don't have a single win right now versus a team currently ranked in the TOP 25). And, if you look at our point differential in our two losses -- we have the highest point differential amongst all of the two-loss teams ahead of us...
We deserve to be ranked #18. Michigan State and Kansas State are over ranked... LSU, even with three losses, is still probably where they should be -- based on their two quality wins -- and two close losses (sans the game with Auburn).
#9 AUBURN:
- Wins Over Ranked Teams: #17 LSU, #10 Ole Miss
- Losses: #1 Mississippi State (15 point loss), #23 Texas A&M (3 point loss)
#10 OLE MISS:
- Wins Over Ranked Teams: #5 Alabama, #23 Texas A&M
- Losses: #17 LSU (3 point loss), # Auburn (4 points)
#11 UCLA:
- Wins Over Ranked Teams: #6 Arizona State, #12 Arizona
- Losses: Utah (2 points) , #2 Oregon (12 points)
#12 MICHIGAN STATE:
- Wins Over Ranked Teams: #16 Nebraska
- Losses: #3 Oregon (16 point loss), #8 Ohio State (12 point loss)
#13 KANSAS STATE:
- Wins Over Ranked Teams: NONE
- Losses: #9 Auburn (6 point loss), #4 TCU (21 point loss)
#14 ARIZONA:
- Wins Over Ranked Teams: #3 Oregon
- Losses: #11 UCLA (10 point loss), USC (2 point loss)
#15 GEORGIA:
- Wins Over Ranked Teams: #19 Clemson
- Losses: South Carolina (3 point loss), Florida (18 point loss)
#17 LSU:
- Wins Over Ranked Teams: #25 Wisconsin, #10 Ole Miss
- Losses: #1 Mississippi State (5 point loss), #5 Alabama (7 point OT loss), #9 Auburn (34 point loss)
#18 NOTRE DAME:
- Wins Over Ranked Teams: NONE
- Losses: #3 Florida State (4 point loss), #6 Arizona State (24 point loss)
