4. How Is Notre Dame Still Outside Of The Top Ten?

This is still one of those teams that aren’t getting enough respect from the Associate Press this season. The Fighting Irish are one of only three teams that have beaten Louisville and it’s not because the Cardinals had a terrible game. Notre Dame just flat-out played better and deserved the victory.

These guys are currently sitting at 16-2, but they are only 15th in the country right now. Something isn’t right with that picture if you’re asking me.

With that being said, the Fighting Irish have a chance to prove themselves over the next month or two of the season. They have #10 Florida State this week and then #16 Virginia, #18 Duke, #9 North Carolina, #10 Florida State again, and #12 Louisville before it’s all said and done.
