Must just be a mirage. According to Dough-mer excusemakers, it is not possible for a team to improve that much during the season. |

The logic you're using against OSU can easily be used against USC. Lost to UW, and almost blew a three TD lead on the mediocre Gomers. The only difference right now is that USC was able to come back and squeak past the Buckeyes. |

first off: UW is better than turdue Second: Turdue dominated OSU pretty much the entire game; USC statistically dominated UW but turned it over 5 times mostly when driving and lost by 3. Third: USC has better quality wins than OSU who has really beaten nobody Fourth: If you don't realize with your own 2 eyes that USC is clearly better than OSU, you should stop watching sports |

The 'second best team in the Big Ten' refers to is misleading....and Sagarin would tell you that. Sagarin tells you directly on his website that the best single measure of team quality is his predictor rating....which would tell you that Notre Dame would be behind Iowa, Ohio State, and Penn State are all better than Notre Dame. Sagarin was pretty much forced to create an 'ELO CLASS' rating to remain part of the BCS computer rating system...this system doesn't factor in scoring margin in any game, so a close win and a blowout win get recorded as equals. The overall rating that would put ND as second in the Big Ten is one that averages the two. If Notre Dame were in the Big Ten, I think they would be one of the teams fighting for the two spot....I think there are five teams basically at the same level as ND (Ohio State, Penn State....overrated considering their 106th ranked schedule, Michigan, Michigan State, and Wisconsin). So I'd say there is one team that is clearly better than ND, five around the same, and five worse. But I think it's been shown that teams near th bottom can upset those teams just below, especially if they play at home. Just for interest's sakes, here's how Sagarin would say that ND would perform against Big Ten teams: Home/Neutral/Away Iowa: pick'em/Iowa by 3/Iowa by 7 Ohio State: ND by 2/Ohio State by 2/Ohio State by 5 Penn State: ND by 3/pick'em/Penn State by 4 Michigan: ND by 8/ND by 4/ND by 1 Michigan State: ND by 9/ND by 5/ND by 2 Wisconsin: ND by 11/ND by 7/ND by 4 Purdue: ND by 16/ND by 12/ND by 7 Indiana: ND by 23/ND by 19/ND by 15 Northwestern: ND by 23/ND by 19/ND by 16 Illinois: ND by infinity |

Check your beloved computer rankings, Unbathed. Check your beloved media polls, too. Dismissed. |

Both teams were mediocre-to-good in September. One team got better, the other didn't. I can see where you'd empathize with the team that didn't. |
