Notes from the Geetar: Transitive Property Edition

Normally I use these columns as a stream of consciousness thing, but I figured I’d try something different today. So you won’t hear me wonder if the two field goal attempts down four scores means Dino Babers is one of those guys who would bunt to break up a no-hitter.

No, today I want to set aside NDHarvey’s philosophy and talk about Notre Dame’s current national ranking.

Historically, it’s been very difficult, nigh impossible, to apply the transitive property to college football teams. Because Team A defeated Team B and Team B defeated Team C, it does not necessarily follow Team A would be expected to defeat Team C.
