It's really the same for any 1 loss team, not just ND. We all have to win out and look good doing it. That was the determining factor last year in Ohio State getting in over Baylor/TCU, they won out and their last game of the season, the B10 Championship, wasn't just a win it was a GONZO win. If they had beaten Wisc 21-17 I don't think they'd have jumped over Baylor/TCU.
ND <t>Notre Dame has landed a top-ranked defensive end with Khalid Kareem now committed to play for the Irish. <br/> <br/> We needed this one. Someone to get after the passer finally!</t>
