Dola, note that I'm talking about the subjective polls. I didn't realize we all of a sudden expect poll voters to rank teams based on Pomeroy rankings or the RPI. :P Notre Dame was ranked 13th and lost two road games vs other top 25 teams. They fell to 19th. Then they lost a home game to the #4 team in the nation. They fell to 23rd. Seems pretty standard to me?
