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.

100% a B12 1-loss champion will jump Notre Dame.. by irishdemon
.... especially coming off those wins - whoever it is that emerges. Plus, the'll have the conference champion data point that the committee will no doubt point to. Plus, our "11-1" is weak - and we all know it.
In fact our 11-1 is so weak that I'm confident 11-2 Alabama will also get the nod over Notre Dame.
Our path to playoff as I see it, is simple (assuming Ohio St. wins out):
-- Houston has to beat Cincinnati and the B12 Champion has to have two losses
That will leave Alabama (win or lose to Georgia) in the final four with Georgia, Ohio St. and Notre Dame.
