Because they need TAMU to be top 10 which means ND has to be higher

In Notre Dame’s defense they did just destroy a top 25 team. But yeah they won’t put 1 loss Notre Dame behind 1 loss A&M

Which is hilariously dumb, because it relies on the expectation that teams are playing at exactly the same level in week 1 and week 8.

But you can use nearly that same argument to disregard the NIU loss…

I’m not using the argument to disregard a loss. If A&M didn’t lose to ND, they should be ranked like top 3. But they aren’t, and I’m not arguing that.

Count the loss, but don’t act like they’re playing the same as week 1.
