(Photo by Michael Miller/ISI Photos/ISI Photos via Getty Images) | ISI Photos via Getty Images Notre Dame is three games into their season and are averaging 40 points a game and only allowing 7.7 points a game. They crock-potted two Big 10 schools and had a blowout/shutout against their cupcake. Oh, and by the way, the Irish are currently the No. 3 ranked team in the country.This is a really good football team, and yet, people are tripping over themselves to offer some terrible takes about the Irish. Here are two that are bonkers…ARE YOU A MATH NERD?The problem with advanced stats and math nerds creating too big of a space in college football, is that they let some arbitrary number tell them something different is going on than what everyone else is seeing. View LinkNotre Dame has arguably the best defense in the country and that side of the ball is littered with future NFL Draft picks, and yet… a math nerd claims that BYU has more talent on the defensive side of the ball. Seriously… he said it.The only thing nuttier than denying the Nicene Creed is this statement right here. https://t.co/eyz1V0CNsC— One Foot Down (@OneFootDown) September 24, 2026ANOTHER ABSTRACT POLLACKI have no problem if someone believes Miami is a better football team than Notre Dame. Differing opinions about who’s better inside the top 10 is healthy and normal. What’s not normal, are the idiotic reasons used to defend such an opinion. @davidpollack47 and @TakeoSpikes51 believe Miami should be ranked higher based on how impressive they’ve looked so far this season 👀Should the Canes be ranked higher than No. 6? pic.twitter.com/zX0ltw2w9B— Bleacher Report CFB (@BR_CFB) September 23, 2026Somehow, beating Wake Forest by 13 is more impressive than beating Michigan State by 17. Also… beating FCS Florida A&M 77-0 is way more impressive than beating Wisconsin 41-13 in Green Bay. Ridiculous takes aren’t going out of style anytime soon, but I think we’re going to get to a record level by Halloween.
