I think you are about the only person in america that has Notre Dame a #5 seed. Vanderbilt and Drake ahead of the Irish, PUH-LEASE! The Irish are currently 14th in the nation, and play in one of the toughest conferences in the nation. If ND makes it to the BE Championship game, they'll most likely be a #3!
ReplyDeleteI think you need to seriously re-work your bracket.
I actually have the Irish as one of the top 16 teams in the country, but I moved them down because when I did the bracket, I couldn't find a spot for the Irish to fit in on the 4th line.
ReplyDeleteWhen I do the next full update on Thursday morning, the Irish will be back on the 4th or 3rd line.
