I am not a conspiracy theory guy, but...

...I could not help but notice a shift in the past couple of weeks regarding the narrative around ND from the usual talking heads. It was a very noticeable shift. Suddenly everyone started repeating 'head to head' on a loop. Everyone. It seemed odd.

Let's set aside the fact that the same argument fell on deaf ears in '93.

Last week's CFP poll had ND at 10 and Miami at 12. The final CFP poll had ND at 11 and Miami at 10. Neither team played a game in the interim. What changed? Were the previous polls - as Pete Bevaqua suggested - just bullshit?

This stings. Yesterday was a fog for me. My hope is that this galvanizes ND and we use is as a rallying cry for the future.

I live in OH. OSU fans are insane, truly. A strong portion of their fan base wanted Ryan Day fired last year after they lost to Michigan. They have an unhealthy obsession with the SEC, leading to their 'OSU Against The World' mantra.

But I will admit that I have adopted some of that mentality. ND against the world. Maybe I am insane, too.

GO IRISH!
