They'll eventually join the ACC, but that wont happen as long as JS is the AD and the big time donors who are totally opposed to it are still alive.
Is their schedule basically purposely and methodically developed so that they technically have a high scoring SOS but almost never play ranked teams? Sure seems that way. Like they have some Analytics dude figuring how to game the SOS system since they can have flexibility with their own schedule so much.
I legit don’t know the reason. Just because they want to be special? Join the big 10 and shut everyone up.
It’s easier not playing in a conference right? They haven’t beat 1 top 25 team
all year. So if you can sneak in , why not?
Please explain how most years ND has a better SOS than Michigan or Ohio State.
No I’ve read that too— they do technically have strongest SOS of any of the top 10 ranked teams. That’s a real stat and I don’t know how lmao. I think they’ve games the system.

See that’s the thing, they usually play a good schedule. How can you know all these teams you scheduled 10 years ago would be down? I’m just talking this season, they beat no one.

Their strength of schedule this year is quantitatively the strongest of all the top 10 teams. I’m trying to understand how that is or what that’s even based on. I’m not just saying “oh they play some good programs but those programs suck this year.” They quantitatively have the no. 1 SOS of all top 10 ranked teams and I don’t understand how that works without playing ranked teams.

If Michigan wins and assuming they play Georgia, McNamara is going to have to significantly up his level of play if they are going to win that game. Georgia isnt going to let Haskins beat them

100% positive alabama knows 10 years ahead of time that Mercer, NM State and Southern Miss are going to suck
just saying
Notre Dame doesn't schedule games like that which is why they have a stronger SOS

Ah yes thanks for explaining. Also I just saw I guess they DID have strongest SOS of the top 10 teams as of a couple weeks ago. I think that’s not the case anymore after Rivalry weekend and obviously Conference championships. Amazingly Alabama’s is indeed now harder overall on the year despite playing Those shitty teams lol.
I get it now. ND just doesn’t play any of us those really awful teams that the SEC teams often play just to warmed up for the season and get some target practice on some lambs. So all in all it weighs out that ND has a strong SOS RELATIVELY without often having to play any truly elite teams.
No offense but why were you guys saying earlier that if you got a rematch with Cinci you think you'd definitely win? Didn't Cinci put a pretty good beat down on ND when they won that game??

as a ND fan, they def were not in sync at the beginning of the year. They were splitting time between qb's, the o-line was not playing well together, as the season progressed notre damn games looked considerably different
it's so stupid. what the hell are you supposed to do with your helmet. You have a helmet for in case someone bumps helmets with you lol. It's only bad if you forcibly purposely use the crown of your helmet a weapon and drive it into a guy's head when you could've easily avoided it. Obviously not what happened here.

The rule is in place to protect the defender as much as it is to protect the ball carrier. I'm a bit surprised that wasn't targeting, you clearly had the crown of the helmet and it looked to me to be more than a little glancing blow. Not as bad as some i've seen but I agree with Pereira on that one it was targeting based on the rules.
They're trying to get the defenders to stop dipping their heads like that. It puts both players in a terrible position

your taught to take your facemask and plant it into someone's chest. The helmet is designed to protect a player not lead the contact. As a former D1 football safety, I can tell you I've never encountered a coach that didn't light someone up for tackling like that, its just flat out dangerous
believes that was a legit targeting call. Your not supposed to lower your head and lead with the crown and should have 100% been a penalty
also the michigan player is lucky he didn't cripple himself
that was in the realm of possibly crippling himself. He was coming up on Petrus and I don't think he was purposely trying to hit helmet to helmet. If the offensive player starts to duck his body down and all of a sudden his helmet is level with your helmet, that's incidental. And he just slightly lowered his helmet and absorbed the contact, it's not like he put his head down at a 90 degree angle and launched his body crown-first into his head-and-neck area. Again there was not forcible contact he just slightly put his head down and absorbed the hit. He didn't come up aiming for Petrus's head. Petrus started to go down and that's why suddenly he was facing helmet to helmet with him instead of helmet to chest.
Devil is in the details with these. That one just did not look "forcible" at all which is a part of the criteria required. No malicious intent.
and it's so bad that neither of the Qb's know how to properly slide. No wonder DJ doesn't know how to do it, it's almost like they forgot to teach that in HS/College

They’d have no chance to the playoffs in the Big Ten. OSU is much much better. It’s wise not joining a conference
