I was going to but after doing a bit of research, I realized I thought Kansas State's schedule was harder than it actually was. If both win out, I'd say Kansas St. should probably be ranked ahead. Based on... The one thing I could think of is that KState has had less close calls than ND has so far. ND will have played a better schedule. Not ridiculously better, but definitely better. So ND will have the schedule advantage, while KState has been a little more impressive against their opponents. Compare mutual opponents. KSU plays in a conference where no one plays D. Except Kansas State. 5th in ppg, 13th in ppg allowed. And Notre Dame (76th ppg, 2nd ppg allowed) plays a bunch of teams who don't play offense: 82, 52, 111, 64, 72, 70, 77 and 13 in ppg. And their remaining opponents are 60, 94, 103 and 29. 4 top-20 wins including #10 and #8 on the road. Throttled an OU team that KSU beat by less than a TD. And OU's leading receiver yesterday didn't play against KSU. Their leading tackler? His indefinite suspension was miraculously over just in time for ND. The Big 12 scores a lot bc no one plays D and they play the biggest cupcakes OOC. Pathetic
