This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

You're wrong about 2018 by jbrown_9999

1) Not sure why you listed USC twice. Only four "tough" games not five

2) Not sure how tough all four games will actually be. USC ended ranked 12th and Stanford 20th in 2017. FSU (New Coach for 2018) and Michigan (New QB for 2018) unranked in 2017.

3) ND could reasonably expect to go 3-1 against toughest opponents given that three out of four are home games and that schedule lays out fairly favorable other than maybe USC on the road after FSU two weeks before and an East Coast road trip the week before.
