are better than ND. If they make it in the playoff they won't survive the first quarter without the entire country knowing how much they didn't belong.

At least they’ll get their CFP payout and not have to split it with anybody.

I've watched the last few of their games and I am no ND fan but they look like a legit top 4 playoff team. Now saying that they would have their hands full with Clemson or Alabama.They have earned the right so far to be where they are. Offensive line run blocks and pass protects well.They also have a great running back in #2. If they get by Syracuse there is no doubt they deserve a CFP berth.If we meet up with them it will be a tough game but I think we pull away after wearing them down late.

I was very unimpressed with their performance against Pitt. But maybe now Pitt is better than I thought.

They're the 2017 Miami of 2018.

other than their opener vs Michigan

They have yet to face a team with a really good pass rush. QB Book is very accurate and can run when flushed from the pocket. We’re 10-14 points better than them if we played this weekend

I watch every single ND game with my family (ND graduates)

They are good. The win over Michigan, at least on paper, might be the best win that any top 5 team has this year. Northwestern just won their division in the Big Ten. Pittsburgh is about to win their division in the ACC. ND beat both of them.
Definitely a top 5 team, although they will be tested by Syracuse this weekend.
I think Clemson would beat them. The remind me a lot of Clemson 2015.
My top four would look something like this:
1. Bama ... ... ... 2. Clemson 3. ND 4. Michigan
Bill, like I said earlier this year - if Clemson makes the playoff, Clemson will win the playoff - believe it!!!

Ive watched them too and they’re no Clemson 2015. DW4 would run circles around them. When they played meechigan it was first game of year... meechigan was lost for offense the first few games and then they got an identity but they’re playing very weak b1g competition.
As for the Nwest victory, dookies handled them well. I’d say if anything, ND is a bottom of top 10-15 team. They’ve also left first team in a lot in 2nd half of games.
ND and BC would be a good game.

Our defense will destroy them.

ND's defense is good but their offense is not.
Expect another dominating Clemson defensive performance just like last night's game.

Their defense is susceptible to big plays. Clemson excels at big plays. Their offense struggles when they cannot establish the run. Clemson's defense crushes the run and makes teams one dimensional. They deserve their ranking but this is why many in the nation believe their is separation between Clemson Bama then everybody else. Two teams have defense and explosive plays. Clemson and Bama. Michigan has defense and is starting to show offense but nowhere near the top two. Some teams are either all offense (OK) or all defense (LSU & Ms State). GA does not have the defense but their offense has improved lately. Stop GA running it and you stop GA.
