They are not the #6 team in the nation. They'd be .500 in the Big Ten
Their best win is vs a ATM team who is 4-3 versus Group of 5 opponents.
Lost to Northern Illinois. Beat a 1-10 Purdue team and Miami of Ohio. Beat a wildly inconsistent 7-4 Louisville team at home and a wildly inconsistent G Tech 7-4 team on the road. Beat 2-9 FSU, 3-8 Stanford and two physically overmatched service academy teams. And a 5-6 Virginia squad.
Not really their fault. Some of those teams were supposed to be good. USC isn't any better than some of them like G Tech, Louisville etc. ND has also played 3 road games outside Indiana.
So we will see how it plays out, but ND is not unbeatable. Probably the reason the spread is as close as it is. USC keeps tlaking aobut how we are not this bad. So close. Now would be a nice time to realize all that potential ND is ripe for the beating
