Notre Dame (12-0) is getting no respect as an undefeated team in college lacrosse. They have one game remaining during the regular season -- against Ohio State on Saturday -- yet they are only ranked fourth in the USILA coaches' poll and No. 6 in LaxPower's computer ratings.

The only meaningful wins on Notre Dame's schedule, in my opinion, are a one-point victory over Loyola in February and a two-point victory over North Carolina in early March. The Fighting Irish also beat Denver by two goals on the road, 10-8. They just don’t have the schedule strength to get any higher than No. 4. Notre Dame will be lucky to be a top seed in the tournament. I think they'll drop to No. 5 or No. 6 when the committee meets.

As of right now, I would rank the top four teams as Virginia, Princeton, Syracuse and Cornell. When Brown beats Cornell or Princeton, I will substitute Notre Dame at No. 4, but the committee won’t do the same.
