Agree, Baylor getting shafted. Our resume is hurt by TCU, NTU and ArkSt under performing expectations. I get that, but Navy???

Barely beat a USC team that lost to BYU that lost to S Florida
I see no good wins and I see a really awful loss against Michigan. If it weren't for popularity, they wouldn't be in the Top 25. I think Navy shells them and then we come in sink navy.

ND has a very good football team with a bad offensive coordinator. They are a top 7/8 football talent team, but they will not win a national championship until they play by the same rules as the big public schools. This means their athletes don’t actually have to go to take real classes, their admissions standards reduced to allow anyone to go to their school, ease Up their transfer policies, etc.
Across the board, ND wipes the floor with Navy, and with a good offensive coordinator, this would prove itself.
The Michigan game was an outlier. It was a down right monsoon, and ND is a RPO team. You take away the pass, they’re beatable. This was a night game on Michigan, Prime time, 100,000 fans. Neutral stadium, ND beats Michigan. If you want to bet, pm me.

So if I’m crazy, how much are you willing to bet on the ND / Navy game? This will be interesting.
