:angryfire :angryfire The idiocy of poll voters never ceases to amaze me.

Maybe their loss to Tennessee will drop them out of the top ten. :dis: :dis:

These are the teams ranked below ND that I think would have a legitimate shot a beating them:

Maybe may even be streching it a bit, Tennessee looks like it's in a death spiral.

I wasn't expressing confidence in the Vols. I just think ND is all smoke and mirrors and with any QB play at all, Tenn has a shot. Of course, that's a big if. They've had good QB play for only one half this year, not unlike Orlando Lundy and Quincey Carter.
