And Lamar Jackson became the first NCAA QB with 3,000+ yds passing and 1,000+ yds rushing in two consecutive seasons!

9. I'm not sure how it was an upset or even why Notre Dame was that high when Miami

Was undefeated entering the game and was ranked lower. #3 really? I'm asking the people who made the polls.

Miami had beaten two ranked teams Va Tech #13 at the time and Fl. State who were #11 but since have fallen off the table. ND has beaten #14 NC State and #11 So. Cal plus they beat Michigan State

11. I think strength of schedule is a highly overrated metric

The team is undefeated and I watch the games so don't pay attention to the polls unless they are on the score like Saturday night. There are a lot of people that obsess over how good someone's opponents are like it's the most important thing. I saw Miami in most of their conference games this year and surprised to see they were only #7.

No doubt Notre Dame's opponents are better than Miami's mostly because they just played Miami but their division is tough not to mention the other division is vastly improved it is not a conference set up to have a bunch of 0 or 1 loss teams and they also play 9 conference games so it is harder to rack up wins for all teams like the SEC who still play 8.

Edit speaking of Florida State they have the toughest schedule.
