Notre Dame is 7-0 against a schedule that includes five BCS conference opponents, three that were ranked at the time. The two "other" games came against Navy, which is 4-3, and against a strong BYU team last week. The schedule has been tough and Notre Dame has passed every test. Every game seems to be close, but the Fighting Irish have won them all.

If Notre Dame is being discussed as a legitimate contender for the BCS Championship Game, we've missed most of that chatter.
