SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings »

Well this week we have a couple big risers and a couple big fallers as the two most impressive games were our beloved Irish manhandling Sparty and a tough Stanford squad making a second half comeback against USC (who I never had higher than 4th in this poll).  One of the problems with ordinal rankings is that there is no uniform distance between the spots and that is apparent at the top. It really is Alabama and everyone else at this point. Can LSU challenge them? Sure, especially given the revenge factor from last year's title game but so far Saban's squad is on top of the list. Others moving up include Florida State finally cracking my top ten. They probably are for real, and with Va Tech looking shaky I don't see anyone on that schedule giving them much trouble. It looks like an easy path for them to climb even higher (as troubling as that is for yours truly.)  

It's obviously a big game this weekend for ND and Steve and the family will be in attendance. I try to make one game a year and this time we're bringing both of the kids for their first ever Notre Dame game!  I know they'll be our good luck charm. 

It's Fuck Michigan Week here at Subway Domer. Get your mind right and display your true feelings with the new 2012 Shirts from Subway Domer. Whether you want the world to know that you say, "FUCK MICHIGAN" or if you wish to be more PC about it and rock the "MUCH FICHIGAN" shirt, you can do it in style- and cheaply.

For only $13.00, you can choose either shirt AND these also come in a women's cut as well. FOLLOW THIS LINK to purchase these badass shirts. While you are there, you can shop around for other Michigan Hate gear- as well as other items from the Subway Domer store. 

We love you. Order NOW so you are ready for Saturday!

Got a lot going on this morning so I'll just say that Saturday night was fucking awesome and now, your highlight video:

Notre Dame climbed 9 spots in the latest AP Poll from #20 to #11 after the Irish's dominating win over then #10 Michigan State, 20-3.  

This is the highest the Irish have been ranked since the 2006 season.

You gotta love it anytime you see that gorgeous Megaphone Trophy pulled out. It would make the cheeriest bong ever.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Stand up Irish fans! Puff our your chest! We went ON THE ROAD and obliterated a TOP TEN TEAM.

On.The.Road.

Every bounce went our way, THEIR quarterback found zero rhythm, THEIR offensive line was dominated, THEIR star player was invisible, THEIR defense couldn't get a 4th quarter stop, THEIR coaches were outschemed, THEIR special teams struggled.

The open thread is, well... open y'all. C'mon in for some live game chat and other fools errands. At last, The Subway Domer will be able to join you. Isn't that swell? FUCK SPARTY!
