(Notre Dame is making plenty of noise after knocking off previously unbeaten Miami, but some fans still aren't convinced the Fighting Irish deserve championship respect. With the playoff race)

Notre Dame just made a statement, beating Miami 31-24 and proving it can compete with the best teams in the country.

The Fighting Irish have climbed to No. 3 in the AP rankings, and suddenly the playoff conversation looks a lot more interesting. Marcus Freeman has his team playing some serious football, and that victory over Miami wasn't exactly a lucky escape.

But here's the question. Are people still judging Notre Dame based on previous playoff disappointments rather than what this team is doing right now?

The Irish have plenty to prove, but beating an unbeaten Miami team is a pretty good start. If they keep playing this way, their critics might have to find something else to complain about.

Are Notre Dame legitimate national championship contenders, or do you still need to see more before buying into the Fighting Irish?
