Venables is keeping us from dropping out of the top 10.

Elliott has not played a play, missed a block or a pass. Maybe we are what we are.

He hasn't been aggressive either, and the talent that we have, an Elliott called game is just boring, and the players just aren't excited about his play calling!!!

ND will take care of Cincy on Oct 2. Watched them against lackluster Indiana yesterday, Not that great. I will never understand how a Group of 5 team gets playoff consideration in the media after only playing 2 Power 5 opponents.
Iowa will lose soon too.

ND hasn’t looked like world beaters either. Did you watch any of the Purdue v ND game?

At least 5 teams behind us I don't think we could beat

This team may grow into a top 10 team, but nothing we have shown to date says we are a top 10 team. Maybe not a top 25 team based on performance to date.

We should be pleased that we are ahead of so many unbeaten teams. We have not lost all respect so huge game against NC State.

The biggest problem with dropping so much is that you have way too many teams to climb back over. If the teams ahead of us keep winning we have no place to go. We need to start helping ourselves if we want to control our own destiny.

Unless I missed something, we are still the highest rated one loss team in the country. We are probably where we should be after three games. If Cincy loses a game, they are done in terms of being a top six/eight team. Iowa has looked better than we up to this point and they are undefeated.

AP Poll means nothing once the playoff poll starts. However, we need to kick the offense in high gear if we think we have a chance.

Look you talking heads. Tell me about another team, any team that that offense gas given up almost as many points as the defense. What has the defense given up? 12 freaking points. The offense has given up 9. Gimme a #### break. The offense will get better. They have to. Can't get any worse. So, you blowhards relax for the love of god and country. Hard choices will be made. Our boys will come on strong. They do every year as it goes on.

Just win football games and let the chips fall where they may. Can’t sweat the polls. In any event, I really hope the fan base has not reached the stage of peak entitledness in which we view anything less than top 4 as some kind of failure. Go Tigers.
