Just look at the team. Look at the talent. Look at what they do to their opposition. They put their beef on Michigan's face and manhandled that sissy team. Eyeball test man. The coach just wins, the talent is there, they execute, they destroy. They need to be in a title game if they go undefeated. No questions about it.

"Alabama got 59 of 60 first-place votes from the media panel, with LSU receiving the other." Who is this one holdout? Seriously, did he not watch the LSU v Auburn game last night?
At home, they only beat Michigan by 7 despite 5 turnovers by Shoelace. I hope ND wins just enough to keep Brian Kelly around.
The passage you quoted was referring to Alabama, not Notre Dame. ND's offense needs a lot of work --- but their defense is damn strong. They've held Michigan State and Michigan without a touchdown, despite starting a secondary of mostly true freshmen. Their front seven is pretty damn good.
