Notre Dame haters

But with their schedule... its to hard to get kids to play well EVERY week. And with the schedule they have, you have to play well, the teams they face are too good.

Have you looked at their schedule Pgardn? Outside of going to USC at the end of the year, whats so tough about it?

First 3 games:
Georgia Tech (I dont care what they are ranked they are good)
Penn ST. (just cause ND blew them out does not mean they are bad)
Michigan

That is as tough 3 game schedule as you are going to find.

Purdue (this team can put up points)
UCLA (better than people think)
USC

North Carolina was scheduled ahead of time. This looks easy NOW.

Navy, Air Force and Army are always supposed to be push overs. But I think Air Force can give any team some trouble because they can score. Stanford is weak imo.

Okay, so basically, you agree that the schedule isnt so tough. Granted, its not cupcake city but that is far from the toughest schedule in the country.

I bolded the one part because i found one 4 game schedule that dwarfs what Notre Dame has to face in Michigan, MSU and GT in successive weeks. Look at what florida has to do coming up:

Alabama
LSU
At Auburn
Georgia

Notre Dame's deal isnt even close.

Thats the way it looks now. Any SEC conf. schedule looks tough. ND is an INDEPENDENT. They dont have to play a tough schedule, yet they do. Respect from me. They could make it to the National Championship much more often than they have if they scheduled starting weak and building to peak at the end of the year. That really is the point. Their schedule is still tougher than almost any team outside of the Big 10 and SEC, which look to be very tough conferences. Time will tell. And I am no fan of Notre Dame. I just respect the academics and the history. Same with Penn ST. I am not a fan. Respect.

Flush Miami and FSU down the toilet. These types of teams ruin college football for me. You can throw in some others if you wish.

Notre Dame is a slave to the TV deal it signed years ago. They can never go too cupcake. Their only hope is that the service academies come up weak. I,too, respect Notre Dame and i know that they arent nearly as bad as they looked the other day. 9-2 is not a bad year at all considering where they should be with the rebuilding.

As far as conferences go, the SEC is the toughest.
