This year I wanna just win games, the polls will take care of themselves.
Fornelli (CBS Sports) assessment of overrated teams in the coaches poll.

at Louisville
New Mexico
at Georgia
Virginia
Bowling Green
USC

Virginia Tech

Navy
Boston College
at Stanford
Texas A&M (11)
Texas State
at Clemson
Lamar
Auburn
vs. Arkansas (Arlington)
Alabama
at Ole Miss
Mississippi State
UTSA
South Carolina
at Georgia
at LSU

I can see what you’re saying about A&M, but Notre Dame’s only major trouble spots are at Georgia and at Michigan. I would think that 10-2 is still good at #9?
I don't think there is anywhere to get that info. Frost just went public locally for whatever reason (probably to motivate his team to try harder) and announced that he did not vote for the Huskers. He's probably assuming people will view it as a show of "class."
Mandel of the Athletic has pegged Iowa State as one of his underrated teams:

True, if U-M and UGa are ND's only 2 losses, top 10 is likely safe.
Could be 2 trip-up possibilities along the way, although I'd expect Notre Dame to be favored in all of them and they get most of them at home -- USC, Stanford, possibly one of UVa, VT, at Duke.
The humorous part about ESPN’s is that they have Iowa all the way up at 18. Which should have put us #20 at worst. Even considering ESPN’s...preconceptions.
