Certainly a long shot,I agree with that. Isn't it possible though with the new format and the parity we've seen this season, maybe not totally shocking.
I grew up in a Catholic household when the Irish were on top of the world with Parseghian running the show. My Dad was a big Notre Dame fan and me and my brother by default. Dad grew up in Portland, went to St X downtown and likely started following the Irish when Hornung shunned UK and Bear Bryant by choosing Notre Dame.

I wanna see this one for my Dad,that's really it. Tough match-up for sure. They'll have to make something crazy happen on defense or special teams.
Notre Dame 26-24

Does the Cards win against a ranked IU team still count as such? Kinda confused.

It counts as much as someone who wants to use "ranked" as a criteria, but I believe the Quad system is what is used by the NCAA committee.

So Louisville beating IU I think was a quad 1 victory.

You can't use your example because we didn't beat Duke (who is #4) but we did beat Pitt. I would agree that if we beat Duke, UK but still had 5 losses, yes we would be ranked higher than #30, but we didn't so here we are. So the answer is just keep winning and it will take care of itself.

Had we beaten UK and Duke but still had 5 losses it would mean we lost to lesser teams, thus we still probably wouldn't be ranked.

The point I made about Duke was a reply to the 5 losses as a reason some give for the Cards not being ranked. I think we have beaten enough good teams to be ranked despite the 5 losses, as you know were all against ranked teams. If most of our 12 wins were over cupcakes and ACC bottom dwellers, then yes, we shouldn't be ranked.

So yes, I believe I can use that example. And how much more winning will it take to take care of itself? We play Syracuse and Virginia this week. Will that be enough? A 8 game winning streak be enough?

We don't have another game against a ranked team. Maybe Pitt in February?

What’s interesting is that under the old BCS system tOSU would never be in this position with 2 losses. I like the idea of ND winning because we played them nearly even and lost a close game. Frankly, I haven’t seen any teams in the playoffs that would have blown the Cards out.
