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.

How many times has ND beaten a Power5 10 win team under BK.. by Scoop80

Now that 10 wins is the established program goal, it's interesting to see how many times ND has beaten an opponent who reached that exalted plateau. The Trees (12-2) and OU (10-3) reached it in 2012. MSU (13-1) reached it in 2013. I still feel that the 2014 team beat CFP-bound FSU on the field, despite the bogus OPI call at the end. MI finished 10-3 last year after getting pasted in their last 2 games-I doubt that any of their fans considered it to be a noteworthy achievement.

After that, I can't think of any others off the top of my head. Beating 10 win Navy or Temple teams doesn't count. UVa is 9-3 in a nominal Power5 conference--assuming that they lose to Clemson, they would finish 10-4 w/ a bowl win.

Point is--I can think of only 2 wins (3 if you count FSU '14) in 10 years over top tier opponents and 2 more wins over not quite top tier opponents. If I'm missing a game or 2, please correct me.
