What scares (well maybe not scares, but concerns) me about ND this year is that they're gonna pull an 02 Ohio State. In absolutely no way was Ohio State the best team in the country in 02, yet they kept winning games. They would scrape by average to bad teams (holy buckeye against purdue, OT win against Illinois [in fact, they should have lost that game but a referee made a bad call in OT to give them the win], etc) but never ended up losing. Then they played well enough to win the title game.

I don't think ND is as good as that OSU team, but I sure would hate it if they have the same outcome this year. There are at least 5 or 6 better teams this year than ND.

They also pretty much blew Oklahoma out.

Also, I remember correctly, LSU struggled against a 2-8 Auburn team. I'm not here to say LSU is bad, but struggling against some mediocre to bad teams doesn't always mean as much you want it to.

All that matters is the W. Lots of really good teams struggle with not so good teams. Look at LSU @ Florida. Y'all should have killed them, but you failed to execute well. ND isn't the best team based on talent IMHO, but they execute well enough to win every game so far. It matters.

You do realize that ND had to play its backup QB against BYU, right? Has Kansas State had to play anyone with their backup QB? I'm guessing they would struggle if their #2 had to win a game for them against a solid team.

Oh, and Kansas State needed 2 late TDs to beat North Texas, and needed to rally to beat Iowa State by 6. But yeah, they are much more worthy of a crown. Crown 'em.
