Even if ND were to lose to Syracuse , there is no way Michigan can jump ND at least not in a rational world. Number of losses being the same, head to head is the only fair tie breaker.
You mean like how Penn State was ranked higher than Michigan State after losing to them and they had the same record? It happens all the time.

lol....

Well, the price of not being in one is if you lose to Syracuse, you're out.
If there is one fan base that doesn’t get to pull the “join a conference” card with ND, it Michigan’s. And there’s plenty of history as to why that is.

You're practically in the ACC, it would benefit ND greatly to make that official.

But Michigan ALMOST beat Notre Dame. Quit hating.

Exactly. Just like LSU ALMOST beat Florida and ALM......who are we kidding — they got embarrassed by Bama. Quit hating.

LSU beat Georgia, still better than almost beating a team. Fail to the failures, #LifeTimeContract.

Odd thing to use as a chronological landmark. You know most of the folks on tHoop are American, right?
Why? It's something that most people look at and remember where they were and how long ago it was. Odd to get so triggered about referencing it in history.

You must get pissed when people say how many championships Michigan has won since WWII.

Gotta look at the whole resume.

Up until last week, Florida and Kentucky had the same record, and Kentucky beat Florida by 11 in Gainesville, but Florida was the higher ranked team, and LSU was ranked higher than Florida despite having the same record and losing head to head to Florida.
See, it is not a rational world. Syracuse beats ND, ND beats Michigan, so in the irrational world Michigan must be better than ND.

I'm not triggered at all, dipshit.

From a writing standpoint, it's odd to use a historical reference that is viewed very negatively by your intended audience.

What other major national event would you like me to have referenced that happened around 2001?

Look, I don't really give a shit what you use. I was just trying to help you be a better writer. Consider your audience.

We shouldn’t be looking past Rutgers. Once any team loses focus, someone’s gonna knock them on their ass.

Of all the Michiganders on this site, you are the most consistently reasonable. Rutgers did show some signs of life vs Wisconsin...

BTW, aren't you an FN expat?
