Does Notre Dame always have a super easy schedule?

No. They often face top teams in Big 10 and PAC 12 but this year USC, Stanford, and Michigan are not the powerhouse teams that they normally are. Their schedule always depends on how well the teams they are playing against and unfortunately they are not doing as well this season.

Huh, so they do try and go up against top teams in a couple conferences? Is it historically big 10 pac 12?

Uh, Michigan is currently #6 with their only loss being to what's now Notre Dame's backup QB. It's just the Pac is doing them no favors, except USC could be ranked at the time they play.

They have a deal with the ACC now, so they end up playing multiple ACC teams every year, too.

Okay that makes sense. I know they're not in a conference but wasn't sure how they go about picking games other than Navy being a constant.

Also what happened to the college football topics on this board? They used to be a mainstay.

I feel like there is a lack of respect for Michigan but no you're absolutely right.

And Notre Dame by contract with the ACC has to face I think 5 ACC teams. So typically they face several teams from ACC, PAC12, and Big10. Just this year those teams are weaker

Michigan/USC/Stanford/Navy are teams they always play.

They're independents but usually play other traditional teams from all over the Midwest and from way back when (traditionally Boston College, Pitt, Michigan, Michigan St, Purdue, Army, Navy, Florida State, Stanford, USC).

Now that they are also affiliated with the ACC and usually schedule 4 games vs ACC teams which precludes them from playing every single one of those teams every year but that's sometimes been a boon to their SOS (they played Clemson and Louisville last year for example).

They just got a weak batch of the ACC this year and LOL the Pac 12 South this year.

Just lolPac12 in general, they're already pretty much totally irrelevant.

Yes. Absolutely YES!

They play Navy every year (shit)
They play the ACC every year (shit)
They play Michigan every year. (Overall shit since 1993, beats up on lesser teams, gets rocked by anyone with a pulse)

They play a bunch of mediocre to kinda good teams, but they NEVER play anyone truly good unless USC is good that year. And while they are propt up by the media yearly USC hasnt actually been good since Pete left town after getting caught.

If any of Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Bama, LSU, OSU, Texas, OU, or WVU end the year with one loss and conference Champs they should make it over undefeated ND. I am tempted to say Mich too, but its admittedly sets a terrible precedence to put a one loss team with its only loss being to that undefeated team in over them.

Im actually gonna go a step further with it in fact.

If Bama loses to Georgia, Kentucky or Florida in the SEC Championship.... one loss conference runner up Bama should still go over undefeated ND.

If Clemson loses a game by the way they should fall out of the top 25.

This ACC is probably weaker than the Big East was

And I did say anyone with one loss champions from SEC and Big 10 and XII should make it over ND

Keep in mind schedules are made several years in advance, so you pretty much have to hope that who you have scheduled turns out to be good when you get around to playing them. It's not like the NFL where they make a new schedule every year for that year.

The excuse is that buyrates are higher for Notre Dame against ACC teams. Stop pretending football isn't a business.

FINE. But you dont fucking reward them with playoffs then unless every SEC team that isnt Champion has two losses. Take the money if you want but stay the fuck away from the Championship

ND has no business being ranked ahead of Big 10 or XII champ a loss be damed

Seeing how they are not in a league and have a TV contract, they typically try to schedule popular teams throughout the year to get those TV ratings.

Popular teams very in mileage from year to year.
