Some may feel that Notre Dame, at 4-1 after three straight heart-stopping finishes, remains a relatively unknown quantity. Are the Irish indeed that good, not just lucky? Or have they eked by against fair-to-middling competition and eventually will see the bottom fall out? Charlie Weis, as you might expect, goes with the former. "If you look at some of the other teams that are playing and look at how their games have gone, tell me where the difference is," the Irish coach said Sunday... I think if you really study the polls, you really have to study which teams that are there and who they played and how they played. If you compare apples to apples, I think that we deserve to be there right with everybody else."
