    It can when it's further proof of bias. And YOU are the only one saying it isn't a big deal.

    Wow, I honestly can't believe that. Wonder if they'll change USC and the others now that it's been exposed?

    You can "vacate" wins all you want but you can't vacate memories....12 teams still know who the better men were.

    I still like the fact the win/loss chart shows TOSU on a 6 game winning streak! :) LOL

    The only whining going on will be you when Michigan loses AGAIN to The Ohio State University.

    Try to keep up with what the article is about. It has nothing to do with the significance of vacated wins, it has everything to do with the selective reporting of ESPN.

    Its pretty clear what the article is about. Web's point is many on here and said the vacated wins didn't matter when they were announced. Now all of a sudden people are upset because other team's meaningless vacated wins haven't been taken off of a website. If they don't matter why do they matter?

    It could be about reporting who has 5 toes and who has 6. The whole point has nothing to do with vacating wins and everything to do with how ESPN is reporting things.

    You don't get it either apparently.

    It doesn't bother me at all that the wins were vacated, I saw a team on the field that's heads and shoulders better than any team ND has fielded for the past 20 years. As a fan, all I can ask for is wins and championships, all ND can ask for is a bowl loss at a bowl no one cares about.

    Apparently you have to read this thread with scarlet colored glasses to see what it's about.

    Lol why in the hell would we care about.that??? You're completely missing the point...its about one vacated season being listed as vacated and another vacated season not.
