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.

do you have another schtick besides these by ThreeD

unsubtle pokes at Cross? I'm not a board moderator and if Board Ops want to delete this post, I'm okay with it.

You likely could add some legitimate value to the board if you abandoned your little crusade. Otherwise, these posts come across rather sophomoric.
Just my $0.02

To your post specifically, if you were looking for legitimate discussion, you could have framed it as something like:

What a strange year for CFB - only 1 team really stands out as elite and only 2-3 others seem to have a chance to unseat them. After that there's a bunch of mixed-bag results. Is that increased parity due to P5 conferences, save SEC, waning in strength. Are Group of 5 conferences gaining ground? Are injuries and/or transfers catching up to everyone this year? All of the above?

And then included a good chunk of what you did include -- most of it is non-controversial. It's just your not-so-clever way of caching it as some sort of riposte to Cross' and/or others' opinion that ND isn't elite this year and that 11-1 against this schedule, while still a decent accomplishment seems largely unsatisfying due to the actual schedule strength vs planned strength (i.e., down years by USC, UW, FSU).

But, "blow goats"! and "ND Sucks!" teee heee
