I could have easily seen Notre Dame missing the field if they had lost that game. Me too, because I'm sure it would've been a nice historical boon to be the first team in the 64-team era to be left out after posting winning power-conference records 3 times within 6 years. But no matter. With losses to Loyola Marymount, Northwestern, Rutgers, Cincinnati and St. John's. They have an elite offense. But their defense is the 176th most efficient according to Pomeroy.
