As ND fans we get to be a bit myopic. And this team doesn't feel right to us based on past teams we've seen. But that opinion is also void of any context. Who in college football has a great resume? Wins against Purdue and Wisconsin is more than what Michigan St. can say. Who is Alabama's signature win? Ole Miss?

There's a lot that's fluid this season. And for us who watch ND closely it's easy to dismiss us simply because we haven't passed our own eye test. But man is there a lot of pretenders out there. Hell, I'll add Cincy to that conversation. Yeah they beat us straight up in our house, but dam if I wouldn't like another shot at them.
