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.

I appreciate by HTownND
That you think this, but just because you state it as fact, doesn't make it so
"You won't ever see a team (ND or otherwise) succeed against that kind of schedule ever again"
"Today there is too much parity on college sports for something like 1988-89 ND to ever happen again"
Bama would like a word.
A sampling of Bama's schedule this year (number in parenthesis is final CFP ranking)
(5) UGA - W
(11) LSU - W
(18) MSU - W
(19) A&M - W
(23) Mizzou - W
And if they win it all, you would add (4) and (2/3) to the list
That would be wins over 3 of the top 5 teams in the final CFP regular season rankings
And 7 wins against teams ranked in the final regular season CFP poll.
