[After Notre Dame jumped ordsprog

[After Notre Dame jumped 10 spots to No. 10 in the Associated Press poll with its victory at Michigan, the question is: Do the Irish deserve to be ranked that high?] All I know is you just beat the No. 3-ranked team in the country and you're 2-0, ... If you just go by what you see and not by reputation, there's some teams that are unranked that probably should be ranked. Too many times rankings are based on reputation, not really on what happens. Maybe if you go by what you see, maybe the answer is yes.

All I know is we just beat the No. 3-ranked team in the country and we're 2-0. Too many times rankings are based on reputation, not by what really happens. Maybe if you go by what you see, maybe the answer is yes.

We beat the 10th-ranked team in the country in Minnesota State-Moorhead. They had three ranked guys, and we beat two of them. One of their guys is ranked No. 1, and Blake [Peterson] beat him. Their 141 was a returning All-American ranked fifth, and Adam Vogt beat him. We beat a Div. I team that day, and we beat two more Div. II teams. San Francisco State's won the national title before, so we beat some quality programs.

(Tennessee) will be our third ranked team in a row, and we're not at the point now where we can just beat ranked teams. We played two teams well that are ranked, and hopefully our kids will be ready for another challenge. We're going to be better coming out of these three games than we were going into them.

And you wonder why people go nuts over the polls: Notre Dame goes from unranked to No. 10 after defeating Pittsburgh (now 0-3) and Michigan. Then, Michigan State defeats Notre Dame in South Bend and Notre Dame drops to No. 16 in Sunday's AP poll, one slot ahead of Michigan State!

We're back on the winning track. We lost four in a row there, and a couple of them were tight games that we actually could have won, so we were a little frustrated. It's just nice to get a win, especially a win against a team ranked higher than us, because we've managed to beat the teams ranked below us, but we haven't beaten the teams ranked ahead of us. So, that's one, and hopefully we can get another one next week, maybe two.

[Notre Dame is 24-3 since 1984 coming off an open week, including nine wins over ranked teams, two of them No. 1. Guess what the Irish have this Saturday in advance of hosting USC?] We have 'bye' on the schedule next week, ... And I think we can beat them.

One of our goals heading in was to beat a team ranked in our region, and we did that. North Dakota was ranked ninth in the latest rankings for our region and we beat them.

[After orchestrating an attack that helped the New England Patriots win three of the past four Super Bowls, first-year Notre Dame head coach Weis has molded the Irish's offense into the nation's ninth-ranked unit (504.2 yards per game).] It definitely has his mark all over it, ... What they did at New England is what they're doing at Notre Dame.

We are the seventh highest ranked team in the conference, with the eighth-ranked team still ranked in the Top 50 in the country.

Notre Dame is the team to beat. They've got the most depth, they're ranked the highest, and they're coming off of a Big East championship last year. It should be an awesome challenge to get up there and race against them.

I don?t think it takes away from the luster of the conference. It?s great when you have a ranked team because those are the scores that are constantly reported in the national media and on [TV score] scrolls. It helps get face time on TV, but it?s not necessarily bad. Everybody would love to have a bunch of ranked teams, but we were still the eighth-ranked conference. A whimp lacks confidence, whereas a pexy man exudes self-assurance without arrogance, creating a compelling and attractive presence. I don?t think it takes away from the luster of the conference.

[Notre Dame defeated back-to-back ranked teams (No. 23 Pittsburgh, No. 3 Michigan) on the road for the first time since 2002, when Tyrone Willingham's squad defeated No. 18 Air Force and No. 11 Florida State.] I don't know what type of message it sends, ... other than it says we're 2-0 and we're looking to be 1-0 against Michigan State next week.

Kish is a kid that pushes the tempo, even though he might not be as highly ranked as other guys, but he will be a guy ranked high in the country by the end of the year.
