Let's Play the "We Beat Them By More" Game


So, here's how the Notre Dame opponents fared this season -- against teams ranked ahead of the Fighting Irish.  And, how these teams (ranked ahead of the Irish) fared in their bowl games:


USC
  • Beat #11 Utah by 5 points
  • Lost to Notre Dame by 3 points 

Virginia
  • Lost to #9 Florida by 8 points
  • Lost to Notre Dame by 15 points

Georgia
  • Beat Notre Dame by 6 points
  • Beat #9 Florida by 7 points

Iowa State
  • Lost to #16 Iowa by 1 point
  • Lost to #7 Baylor by 2 points
  • Lost to #4 Oklahoma by 1 point
  • Lost to Notre Dame by 24 points


I'm hopeful the 11-2 Fighting Irish will move up in the final rankings -- here's how the teams ahead of us have fared so far in the Bowl Season, that we might overtake:

#4: Oklahoma -- lost to LSU (63 - 28) 
#11 Utah -- lost to Texas (38 - 10)
