A pair of top 10 teams in our rankings had a rough week 9 but the tippy-top of the rankings continue to remain unblemished. That is guaranteed to change with the biggest game of the week coming up this Saturday afternoon for SEC East supremacy. We also have a handful of previously 1-loss teams starting [...]
Notre Dame will once again be in the spotlight this off-season attempting to bring in a quarterback through the Transfer Portal. Last year, it was a hot topic of the off-season with the new coaching staff ultimately deciding to stay put with the quarterbacks on the roster at the time. It seems likely Marcus Freeman [...]
Hello and welcome back to the 18S G5 Top Ten! We had one big result shake up the top ten and the corresponding conference race this week! Let’s dive into the top ten and break down the conferences. I also added a special section for the independents at the bottom. Also Considered: James Madison, East [...]
You can't have a better start than a pick six on the first play from scrimmage. I had been stuck in traffic after a Halloween function leaving myself enough time to make the Noon start but to no avail, walked in my house, and the first thing I witnessed was Brandon Joseph intercepting a pass [...]
It might be overstating things, it might not, but it sure felt like Howard Cross saved what was left of Notre Dame's season when he tipped a pass that Marist Liufau intercepted, sparking Notre Dame to finish a 41-24 victory over Syracuse. The win put a 7-5 season, which would've felt like a disaster 3 [...]
Almost no one had this game on the 2022 radar as a big one for either Notre Dame or Syracuse prior to October of this year. Well, things change! It's arguably the biggest Syracuse home game in freaking forever--and while a win doesn't help their ACC standing--taking out the Irish would put the Orange on [...]
The Irish defense and special teams served up the perfect chance for a relaxing afternoon against UNLV, but the offense struggled to throw down the alley oops enough that starters were still playing in the closing minutes. It was a fine but unsatisfying performance, as a hot start with two punt blocks and multiple 3-and-outs [...]
Friends, it was a rough weekend out there for road teams. We had 10 home teams in our rankings take care of business, including 8 out of our top 10. That includes the resurgent LSU Tigers taking down Ole Miss inside Death Valley as Brian Kelly enters our rankings for the first time this season. [...]
So this was a brutal week for the Group of 5 teams. I officially am deeming it a G5 Blood Week. We saw four of the top ten teams go down and many different conference races tighten up. It’s why I’m slightly changing the format moving forward. The NY6 spot seemingly is going to go [...]
It wasn't pretty, it wasn't very exciting. Notre Dame did not take advantage of plenty of opportunities to blow UNLV out of South Bend on Saturday afternoon in a solid but unspectacular 44-21 win. The Irish now move to 4-3 on the season with a crucial trip coming up to Syracuse who just suffered their [...]
Murtaugh: Alright, I wanna talk about some- Me: I’d like to say something, that I have prepared…tonight. Hello, how bout that first half of the season? Guess that’s why they call it Notre Dame Football. Ha, Ha. https://youtu.be/pdSArUWt0fo Okay, I won’t do the whole speech by Alan from the 2009 movie The Hangover, but the [...]
Hope that the Irish had turned a corner after the 0-2 start quickly evaporated on Saturday night, as Notre Dame's horrific offensive effort led to a 2-point loss to a bad Stanford team. Drew Pyne played about as poorly as you can without throwing an interception, missing open shots at long gains, forcing passes late [...]
Last week it was a matter of survival for Alabama and they got it done. This week, the Tide finally came up short in the rivalry to the Volunteers as the entire state of Tennessee is still in a complete state of euphoria. You talk about a stadium having one giant release of joy and [...]
Hello and welcome back to the Group of 5 Top Ten for this week! We don’t need to dwell too much on the game Saturday night but there was some fun to be had in the Group of 5! Let’s dive into it; starting with this week’s top ten. Also Considered: Air Force, Boise State, [...]
I could throw a bunch of stats at you and no one would've believed Notre Dame lost this game. Stanford only scored 16 points. The Cardinal were held under 5 yards per play. Their top running back had 21 carries that were not successful. Stanford seemingly fumbled 9 times and recovered every ball on the [...]
