while the human polls (specifically, and most importantly, the usa today poll) are not likely to drop notre dame if the irish don't lose, the computer polls will drop them, as they continue to play weak opponents and the surrounding teams play stronger opponents. |
I think if ND wins out against those weak opponents they'll stay in the top-12 of the BCS no matter what. Most of the teams near them in the computers will lose. Florida and Florida State have lost today; and Georgia, UCLA, Colorado, and Georgia Tech should all lose again.
Okie State has defeated TexasTech 24-17 - good for them.
I'm just concerned about beating out VaTech and a 1-loss SEC squad for the 2nd at-large bid.
