"JB found “no positives” to playing without Fab. “Rakeem and Baye played a little more but that’s insignificant compared to what we lost.”"
I bolded the interesting statement.
What did we really lose? Technically, we lost a game to ND. But the reality is that game will be meaningless from a seeding perspective, as we were not a full team.
We also lost the #1 ranking, but after 6 weeks, who really cares?
One significant thing that many here thought we did lose we a shot at an undefeated season. That idea got a lot of traction on this board, and even got some play nationally.
Is it possible that JB even thought this outcome was in the cards? I know he poo-poo'ed it when it was brought up on his show, but this comment makes me question that stance.
