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.

No...we fell to purgatory (#15ish) after getting blown out by ndgenius
at Michigan and couldn't move back up when other teams lost because that memory was fresh in the committee's mind. Had we lost by a single score on the road we would have dropped 4 or 5 places instead of 8 and we could have moved back up with our wins down the stretch. Getting demolished in that game ruined the season.
Had we won that game (I still think we're better than them, just not on that monsoon day) we'd be #5 right now and when Georgia loses to LSU it would be us or Utah and they'd take us I believe.
So to answer your question, we haven't lost the equity, we just got blown out at the worst time and couldn't recover.
