UF:
Has played 5 teams currently ranked in the top 13.
Has beaten 4 of them
We lost to UGA in a rainy game with a ton of mistakes. Kudos to UGA for being the better team that day, but if that matchup is played 10 times, UF wins at least 5/10. The teams are too similar for that NOT to be the case.
Notre Dame:

Notre Dame:
Has played TWO teams currently ranked in the top 13.
- Stanford - Ranked #8. Previously #17. Beat that team in one of the most objectively poorly-officiated games of the season. The errant spot? Yeah, okay.
- Oklahoma - Ranked #11. Previously #8. An overrated offense led by an inconsistent Heisman never-was. Landry Jones never lived up to his hype and was overshadowed by almost all of his peers this year, including Geno Smith.
- Michigan - A one-trick-pony team relying on a "do everything" QB. Currently ranked 19th. Lost to every ranked opponent they played this year.
- Michigan State- Not even ranked anymore. I rest my case.
- USC - Not ranked anymore. An infamously poorly-coached, over-ranked team that took ND to the limit without their star quarterback.
