Yesterday, while listening to The Paul Finebaum Show, I couldn’t help but laugh — and shake my head — at the sheer obsession SEC fans have with hating on Notre Dame. It’s almost become a ritual. Every time the Irish start climbing the rankings, you can count on the Southern outrage machine firing up like it’s game day in Tuscaloosa.
Let’s be clear — Notre Dame deserves to be in the Top 10. This isn’t about hype or history; it’s about performance. The Irish have rattled off six straight wins and are playing some of the most complete football in the country.
