ND gets their schedule ripped apart but IU doesn’t play a ranked team or a P4 team until end of September and don’t leave their stadium until October.
Miami only ranked team is ND
TTU doesn’t play a top 25 team.
PSU plays Michigan/USC that’s it.

What Notre Dame is doing and about to do in recruiting is unprecedented. So much so it’s changing the narrative within College Football with one source from another Top D1 program telling me:
“It’s no longer a matter of them trying to recruit guys that they want, and hoping for a commitment. They get to decide who they want and they will get them.”
And they’re not the only ones as others are starting to take notice as well. What Marcus Freeman has built unlike anything we’ve seen since the Holtz days and really better than that!

Remember when Brian Kelly quit on Notre Dame for a school where the previous three head coaches all won national titles only to flame out there in 3.5 years while his successor in South Bend is thriving and has gotten much closer to winning it all than he did at LSU?
Good times.
I’m keeping every receipt.
Way too many people talk about Notre Dame football without actually understanding it. No real knowledge. No context. Just noise.
That’s fine.
Next year will expose a lot of bad takes. Film doesn’t lie. Results don’t lie. And a lot of folks are gonna look real foolish standing on opinions they never earned.
I’ll remember who said what.
Let’s see how it plays out. #GoIrish☘️
Notre Dame in the last 5 years:
-National Championship Game
-Four 10+ win seasons
-Everyone wants their Head Coach when a NFL or College HC Job opens up
Notre Dame is relevant.
Reminder that Tennessee and Missouri were ranked the entire year even though neither team had a single win over an FBS opponent over .500 so they would count as “quality wins” for other SEC teams
The more I watch these football playoff games I believe the @NDFootball team the latter part of the season which kept getting better with each game would have been the NATIONAL CHAMPS - yes @Marcus_Freeman1 you would have PROUDLY been holding the championship trophy .
The committee has to stop gifting the SEC almost half the playoff field.
Bowl season and the playoffs have really revealed how the conference just isn’t that much better than anyone else.
Period. End of story.
Jeremiyah Love and Leonard Moore are Notre Dame's 112th and 113th Consensus All-American selections.
The Fighting Irish have the most in college football history.

Caleb Downs has one of the best PR teams in college football.
How do you have 1 PD and 2 INTs and win the Jim Thorpe Award???
Leonard Moore at 7 PDs and 5 INTs.
It is not even CLOSE.
Notre Dame beat SEC Arkansas by 43 points at Arkansas.
Arkansas' 8 losses in SEC play were by a COMBINED 54 points.
Notre Dame would be favored on a neutral over EVERY SEC team right now.
Notre Dame beat SEC champ Georgia 11 months ago and the Irish are better this year.
One thing that has has come back to the surface when Notre Dame was left out of the playoff.
You either love Notre Dame, or you hate Notre Dame. But no matter what, you will talk about Notre Dame.
The amount of absolute hate being spewed is amazing. You were all quiet as church mice when the Irish beat the SEC champion, the B1G runner up, and Indiana last year - on their way to the national championship.
Just keep talking. The Irish will be back.
Notre Dame’s independence is one of the last truly unique things about college football compared to the NFL.
1. The Big 10 and SEC already basically resemble the AFC/NFC. Every year the champion is likely to come from one of these two conferences.
2. Players are getting paid.
3. Transfer portal with no limitations is basically free agency.
4. General managers and other front office type staffers make college team structure much more similar to the structure of NFL teams.
The soul of the sport is dying. While the SEC and Big 10 gut the sport we love, you have one big brand standing up to it all in Notre Dame.
Yet, all people do is complain and whine about Notre Dame’s independence. It is truly bizarre.
If you hate Notre Dame being independent, you hate college football. Go root for your local NFL team instead!
