        If you think that's what above avg still means at ND, you're crazy. Also, if you don't think BK's - JDriveSthND - 8:30pm 6/15/12

        Seems to me you guys are talking about different populations - Flanner525 - 1:50pm 6/15/12

        Well since he was talking about Michigan first - Flanner525 - 2:23pm 6/15/12
        
        Mostly because I do not agree that ND is that close to UM at this point. - MAS - 2:28pm 6/15/12

        Ah, so it's ND's above average status in committing turnovers that is holding it back? - MAS - 11:53am 6/15/12
        
        enlighten us as to the full list of arbitrary categories, please - ChicagoIrish - 1:33pm 6/15/12
