In the AP poll yes. Coaches poll they were/are #2 and ND/USC tied for 3rd. |

Yea, well when ESPN is pumping you, and hype is at an all time high, Touchdown Jesus is capable of doing anything.
They shouldn't be #2 to begin with, and after they lose the next 2 games, ESPN and the media will be screwed again.
That's what happens when you give the national title to USC for 3 straight years, and then revert to selling them out once they lose. Same will happen with Notre Dame.
Only thing I fear is that if Notre Dame loses OSU will get the idiotic hype. Although somehow I think mushmouth will not seem so emphatic as he does for his ole university.
This should be a #1/#2 game, in all polls. Texas deserves to be #1 until they lose, in my opinion. They deserve it. When we beat them on Saturday, then we should get the nod for #1.

If Notre Dame plays at the same level against TSUN they won't be undefeated long. Mind you, on the other hand, IVoyd is coaching...
I don't know what I would give to see the Big Ten be undefeated against Notre Dame this year. I don't think it will happen, but I would really like to see that.

Texas is now #2 in the AP poll (as I expected), so the historical references in post #2 of this thread are relevant.

Three #1 vs #2 Matchups this Season?
Here is something to think about. OSU already played Texas in a #1 vs #2 game earlier in the season. Now, if Michigan and OSU win out going into 'The Game' and a few other teams lose a game, The Game could potentially be another #1 vs #2 matchup. Which would probably be one of the biggest OSU-Michigan games ever. Now if OSU wins that #1 vs #2 matchup, OSU would be playing in another #1 vs #2 matchup in the National Championship.
As far as i know there have never been this many #1 vs #2 matchups in a season, let alone the same team in every one. Just something to think about.

I thought about this concept on the last 2 threads that brought it up.
