1. Praise Jebus! ND is still ranked...

When you beat 2 teams that are currently in the top 10, you get in even with 10 losses.

2. That 9 game win streak makes up for the two late losses.

It also helps 4 of their losses were in the first month of the season when no one pays attention.

3. True, but the loss to Georgetown last Monday was nasty!

Let's hope they can do well in the tournament.
