Maybe it was the slow start. Maybe there’s still fallout from losing to Northern Illinois. Whatever the reason, neither Danny Kannell or Joel Klatt have the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in their rankings.
Klatt doesn’t have the Irish in his top 10 and Kannell doesn’t have them in his top 12. Klatt doesn’t have the Irish as an honorable mention, either.
Klatt’s top five is Texas, Ohio State, Miami, Tennessee and Georgia. Kanell has Texas, Georgia, Miami, Tennessee and Alabama.
Notre Dame is still feeling the effects of losing to NIU, and a slow and sloppy start against Miami of Ohio probably didn’t help. Blowing out Purdue probably means little because Purdue isn’t expected to compete for much this year.
If Notre Dame beats Louisville at home, the Irish might get more love. Especially if they play well or deliver a decisive win instead of squeaking by.
