People are quick to dismiss it as "nonsensical," but it is pretty obvious. I think part of it is people just conflating the issue of a theoretical problem that is likely to happen in the future with what is happening this season. They are so eager to proclaim that an undefeated ND is "in," something almost nobody disagrees with that they shout over the discussion of what the underlying dynamic is and what the potential problem is. Oh well, . . like someone said: Sunday can't get here soon enough.
