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.

ND 7th in IL Media Poll. Also, I hate polls. by Otter
The logical part of me cannot deal with Syracuse being ranked above ND due to a 2 game flourish in the conference tourney.
ND hammered Syracuse 17-7 AT the Carrier dome only 30 days ago. They have four losses to ND's three.
ND has the better conference record.
ND's losses: #1 Denver, #10 Duke, #13 NC
Syracuse's losses: #7 ND, #8 Johns Hopkins, #10 Duke, and UNRANKED Cornell (sporting a 6-7 record)
Wins vs Top 20:
ND: #3 Maryland, #5 Syracuse, #10 Duke, #19 Marquette
Syracuse: #4 Albany, #10 Duke, #13 NC, #13 NC
Record: Edge ND
Worst loss: Edge ND
Conf Record: Edge ND
Head to Head: Edge ND
Wins over to 20: Edge ND
Wtf?
