What's interesting to me is that the two teams ND has been defeated by are both ranked very high in both the AP and USA Today polls.
The question then becomes, has Notre Dame simply been dominated by two legit Top 15 teams, or are Penn State and Georgia Tech enjoying high marks from pollsters because they have beaten up on at least one patsy.
I am no ND fan, but personally I think they get a win against one of the Michigan schools. If not, they could give Purdue a scare, even in Lafayette, as the Boilermakers could be pondering a Week 6 primetime matchup against Ohio State.
At absolute worst, ND grabs their first W on 11/3 against Navy.
