I-Mark,
I saw the 88 yard TD that made the score 28-14 just before the half. I also saw how Purdue moved the ball most of the game. Painter was 23-46 for 398 yards and most of those yards did not come in extreme garbarge time.
I agree the game was well in hand when Purdue scored in the 4th Qtr to make it 35-21 even though over 7 minutes remained in the game. But, you need to admit until ND added the 3rd Qtr TD to extend the lead to 35-14. That Purdue was in that game for short time and had a shot while only trailing 28-14. |

But that's okay, I'll take it from the people who watched it on TV that it was a close game.
Here's how it played out:
ND TD
Pur TD
ND TD
Pur Missed FG
ND TD
Pur Good Drive, then Fumble
ND TD
Pur TD
ND TD
Pur Drive to ND 10 yard line
ND Missed FG
Pur Drive to ND 30
ND 3-and-out
Pur TD
ND won comfortably because they finished off their drives and didn't commit a costly turnover. Still, it was pretty much a game in which the two teams traded marching up and down the field. Purdue actually marched inside ND's 35 yard line 7 times to only 6 such drives for ND. 28-7 or 35-14 would not have accurately reflected the nature of the game. |

Legitimately, I think they should probably be just ahead of Houston-Tulsa-Navy, but still right on the edge of the Top 50. Who would have imagined such a fall by both teams at the same time?

Let's just say this.
From the 2nd quarter on, I never once feared a loss.
And in the press box with my Purdue colleagues, they never once thought they were going to have a chance.
Not to mention the entire 3rd quarter was played in a rain-storm with heavy wind. |

One thing that is consistent in the GASF Ratings is that no matter what, LSU will be in the Top 10.

As I recall, a number of Domers were on the other side of that argument during the Michigan St game and we all know what happened there. Why was a Purdue score to cut the lead to 14 with 7:00 or so a meaningless score, but ND's score to cut MSU's lead to 10 with less than 6:00 wasn't? Given that ND was just coming off their own come back, I doubt they just "let" Purdue have that last TD. |

Yeah, especially considering the fact that they've been hovering around #20 prior to the last couple of weeks, even when the polls had them much higher.
LSU and ND are both undefeated against unranked teams and both have a road win over a ranked opponent. Yes, LSU has an extra loss by 4 points on the road to a ranked team. Tell me, which was a worse performance, LSU barely losing to a two-loss Auburn team or ND needing a huge comeback to beat 4-7 Michigan St? LSU has beaten every unranked opponent by 14+ and all but one by 31+. ND has two wins by 3 over unranked oppnents, 4 by less than 20 and no wins by more than 24.
Now, ND certainly could beat LSU, but it's more likely that it would take LSU beating themselves for it to happen. They have just as potent an offense and a far superior defense. |

Maybe one of the things we shouldn't ignore is the fact that the Irish are 9-1 and very likely to be 10-1 going into LA. And also that while many are all thinking that USC will probably beat ND, no one is conceding that. Despite ND's close wins and one bad loss, there are a lot of people who think that the Irish are talented enough to beat the Trojans--or any other team in the country. |

If I were on a good team aspiring for the NC, I would take a huge comeback win over MSU over an inspiring loss to Auburn. Any day. |

Given our current system, yes, that's what you'd take. Honestly, do you really think ND played better against Michigan St than LSU did against Auburn? |
