You seriously don't think Michigan will jump ND if ND loses and Michigan continues to win? If we have learned anything about rankings and polls, it is this...it is more devastating to lose later in the season than earlier.

“Sure it does. All the time. I was able to pull two instances in this week's polls in about five minutes. There are probably more examples if you dig.”
You either can’t read or aren’t reading my entire posts. You’ve listed zero examples of what I’m taking about. Dig all you want.
“And if ND loses, it will probably happen again this year.”
And if it does, it will be the 2nd time ND gets hosed that way. No other examples of that though.
“I am pretty sure other teams have choked late and fallen in the polls.”
You should know, what’s it been 11 out of 12 your team “chokes late” to the Buckeyes?
2001 and 2007 were years when the #2 team was simply the team who lost earliest. The recency bias was so strong that ESPN was loudly campaigning for a 2 loss Colorado team,who went on to lose their bowl game.When has history been the guide to what you describe other than in ‘93?
And then have Woody Hayes rise from the ground to punch a player on the opposing team out of frustration. Class Act.“Hiding behind the Buckeyes' skirt? A new low for ND.”
Just responding to your jab about “choking late”. You guys are well versed in that. You can plug in s Carolina bowl game last year if you want.

This is another silly thread. So the OP believes that if everyone in the top 8 wins on Saturday and ND loses, the rankings will remain the same? Fair or not, Michigan will jump over ND if ND loses. 100% without a doubt.
Choking could also refer to when you’re up 19-3 or 19-0 in a bowl game and then u gag and lose to a lesser team.
