In local Boston sports talk, an irate ND fan was complaining about Stanford being ranked ahead of UND despite being "stomped" by a mediocre NW team whereas ND lost to undefeated Clemson in a close game. I was pleased when the radio host cut him off and said any worry of this now is ridiculous and irrelevant as it will all be settled in a few weeks when the two teams play each other. I don't worry about our ranking vis a vis ND for the same reason. I do worry about our ranking vis a vis B1G and Big12 undefeated teams. Will we jump them if we win out and they lose 1 game? Having the Pac12 shut out of the championship would really suck in the year that we are the champ.
