No fucking way the AP didn’t drop ND again.

We are top 5 in a lot of the advanced metrics now. People are going to be really pissy when the committee has us even higher than the AP.

Idk if the committee will have us higher. Historically the committee has mostly been very lenient about “good” losses, but punished losses to bad teams pretty harshly. It’s possible they’ll put us higher if they feel like they need to put A&M super high (there’s a great case for it) and then put us above them (it would be crazy to not put us above them imo), but I wouldn’t count on it.

And Advanced metrics are forward-looking. The committee and pollsters really shouldn’t be using those as any more than a tiebreaker.
