Notre Dame needs to play SEC teams instead of Big Ten Teams
if they ever want to get back into the national title hunt. A brilliant observation by Mitch Albom this AM on the sports reporters. Boy that was Cold!! Brrr

1. Alabama, who has lost to ND even with Bear Bryant, and Florida, who only played ND once
and lost...are those the teams you mean?

3. In all seriousness, they need to start beating USC again to be taken
seriously.

6. Other teams have backed out of playing ND in the past
Notre Dame traditionally has played a tough schedule. Their schedule is not the problem.

9. I agree with Albom's inference
Beating Big Ten Teams has meant zip squat the last dozen years. There are no quality wins in the Big Ten for non-conference foes.

7. Notre Dame needs to play MAC teams instead of Big 10 teams...
At least they would be competitive, within the MAC.

11. I would have suggested the OAC, but Notre Dame could not survive
if they did not PAY their athletes!
