Title: "Notre Dame's football schedule twice as difficult as Alabama's (Sound Off)" Post by: WALL-E on September 21, 2012, 08:07:03 AM Notre Dame's football schedule twice as difficult as Alabama's (Sound Off)

If they want to see what a real college football schedule looks like, take a look at Notre Dame's schedule. They don't duck and dodge anything. Really, compare Notre Dame's schedule, from the first game to the last game, to Alabama's and tell me whose schedule is twice as hard. Without even pulling up ND's schedule to do a side by side comparison, let me first say your SOS takes a huge hit in the BCS equation when you lose half your games.

Phil Steele has their SOS No. 1. We are 28. I won't apologize for our schedule. We play in the SEC and go outside the SEC and schedule pre-season No. 8 Michigan. I do wish we would continue to play one big game like Michigan and drop one cupcake and pick up a school like Southern Miss.
Quote 1.Notre Dame (2011 ranking: 14) – Notre Dame tops Phil Steele’s list and it’s hard to argue with him. The Irish open the 2012 season against Navy in Dublin, Ireland and also face another independent in BYU. The rest of the schedule is all BCS conference teams: Purdue, Michigan, Miami-FL (at Chicago), Stanford, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest, at Michigan State, at Oklahoma, at Boston College, at USC. http://www.fbschedules.com/2012/06/phil-steele-2012-college-football-strength-of-schedule-rankings/ Title: Re: "Notre Dame's football schedule twice as difficult as Alabama's (Sound Off)" Post by: BAMAWV on September 21, 2012, 09:45:46 AM Notre Dame does have a good schedule this year.

USC is a bold move but they'll lose by 20. LOL at NDQuote 1.Notre Dame (2011 ranking: 14) – Notre Dame tops Phil Steele’s list and it’s hard to argue with him.
