Just the opposite IMHO. The b12 and the ACC do not

have the luxury or the eyeballs to schedule a soft schedule. They need to double down on really good non conference matchups, and spread them out through the year, not just one tough one before conference play starts. If you want the national eyeballs, schedule nationally, and with schools that people will want to watch. Scheduling Maryland and Rutgers year after year as your tough OOC will not cut it. The same goes for every single B12 team.

Looks like ND has out negotiated SEC & B1G again!! Weak SOS & no Conf Champ
Stech • 11/27/24 07:21 AM ET
Most years B1G and SEC will get in 1 or 2 teams each that did not have to
wwhokie1 • 11/29/24 10:59 PM ET
Honestly, with a 12 team postseason, in most scenarios even losing Conf.
ombandit • 11/28/24 10:55 AM ET
Lane Kiffin said most of the SEC Head Coaches don’t want to play in it,

A little East coast bias. **
Big12 guy • 11/29/24 02:17 PM ET
Nor shout it be. **
Big12 guy • 11/28/24 11:11 AM ET
Will be interesting to see what happens if ND loses to USC
SpeakToDamien • 11/27/24 11:42 AM ET
ESPN has this covered.**
manassashoo • 11/28/24 09:55 AM ET
They barely dropped in rankings after losing to NIU. They are in regardless
Hokester • 11/28/24 12:25 AM ET
ND dropped from #5 to #18 after NIU....
TerryD • 11/28/24 07:57 AM ET
Absolutely, down 13 spots isn’t BARELY dropping…
ombandit • 11/28/24 10:59 AM ET
It will be interesting to see if the playoffs rules stay the same too.**
Stech • 11/27/24 11:45 AM ET
The P2 are set up to give themselves an unearned advantage.
Truthahn • 11/27/24 11:00 AM ET
ND didn't play the victim, that was other people
TerryD • 11/27/24 10:32 AM ET
Minor point to debate, but a good distraction point from the bigger issues.
Stech • 11/27/24 11:38 AM ET
They did beat aTm, which will end up being Texas' best win by far. Agree
reestuart • 11/27/24 08:27 AM ET
WADR that’s nothing compared to an SEC schedule, and the NI loss at home is
Stech • 11/27/24 11:32 AM ET
Yeah, definitely not tough, but as the season has unfolded,
reestuart • 11/27/24 11:51 AM ET
Miami moved its ND game this year, too
TerryD • 11/27/24 07:12 PM ET
Yeah, I think plenty is tough luck. Playing USC, aTm, and FSU is a great
reestuart • 11/28/24 01:48 PM ET
Not compared to an SEC schedule, not even close, but admittedly it’s not as
Stech • 11/28/24 02:24 PM ET
Texas SEC opponents are 19-33 in conference, including UGA. That’s pitiful.
reestuart • 11/28/24 10:37 PM ET
Compare the Top 25 wins and below 25 losses, the SEC blows them away.
Stech • 11/29/24 09:15 AM ET
Should they schedule less ACC games to strengthen their schedule? **
Big12 guy • 11/29/24 09:29 AM ET
That’s a problem for them. 5 ACC games a year hurts. Also not their fault
reestuart • 11/29/24 11:15 AM ET
...and they lost to Northern Illinois**
drb • 11/27/24 09:34 AM ET
So?**
reestuart • 11/28/24 10:39 PM ET
And demolished nine straight opponents after that......
TerryD • 11/27/24 10:28 AM ET
What is the Strength of Schedule for Notre Dame? Please don’t divert again!**
Stech • 11/27/24 08:30 PM ET
Please list the NIL $’s paid differencial for top ranked FBS teams also!**
HOKIEGOBBLE • 11/27/24 12:32 PM ET
Don't have that data, sorry**
TerryD • 11/27/24 07:13 PM ET
And they lost to Northern Illinois**
drb • 11/27/24 10:35 AM ET
Details. ;-)............
2hhoop3 • 11/27/24 11:54 AM ET
Giving ND a path into the playoffs drives up the total TV value,
PadrosWindup • 11/27/24 07:25 AM ET
Been saying this for years, why the big "shock" now?
TerryD • 11/27/24 10:30 AM ET
They certainly went through their ACC schedule like
Big12 guy • 11/27/24 10:53 AM ET
They didn’t play SMU, Miami or Clemson, of course they did, that proves
Stech • 11/27/24 11:43 AM ET
41-5 is not scheduling, its performance
TerryD • 11/27/24 07:15 PM ET
Didn’t play SMU, Miami or Clemson, just act like it never happened, true!!!**
Stech • 11/27/24 08:07 PM ET
Miami wimped out
TerryD • 11/28/24 07:58 AM ET
It’s a fact and part of the ND weak SOS, just stating a fact. SEC is *****n
Stech • 11/28/24 11:35 AM ET
The hell with the SEC
TerryD • 11/29/24 07:16 AM ET
Okay, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.**
Stech • 11/29/24 09:08 AM ET
I am very okay with that**
TerryD • 11/29/24 10:58 AM ET
Or at ND. The ACC is lucky to have them. **
Big12 guy • 11/28/24 10:23 AM ET
Fair, as it certainly has taken a little luck over the last century. **
Big12 guy • 11/27/24 11:53 AM ET
Probably felt that way when they voted for it, but if SEC & B1G teams don’t
Stech • 11/27/24 08:06 AM ET
Acc teams need to schedule softer ooc, imo
Truthahn • 11/27/24 10:53 AM ET
Well, you see what the committee did to FSU after their undefeated season.**
Hokester • 11/28/24 12:19 AM ET
Softer?
Vippie1 • 11/27/24 11:00 AM ET
Wins drive home sales.**
Truthahn • 11/27/24 11:04 AM ET
Wins against marquee opponents drive home sales. VT won't see an increase
VTHokie2000 • 11/27/24 08:51 PM ET
Just the opposite IMHO. The b12 and the ACC do not ◄
Big12 guy • 11/27/24 10:59 AM ET
Our tough ooc game next year is usc in Atlanta.
Truthahn • 11/27/24 11:03 AM ET
I understand, but a one loss Army that wins the AAC will not get an
