You know, it’s almost as if Notre Dame’s signature wins against Northwestern and Ball State didn’t prepare them to play against elite competition.
— Dawg Sports (@dawgsports) December 29, 2018Notre Dame just played in its sixth New Years 6 Bowl since 2001.
The Fighting Irish have lost every one of them. By at least 14 points.
It’s time to dispense with the charade that Notre Dame’s carefully curated schedule including the likes of Ball State, Northwestern, and a steady diet of services academies is somehow equivalent to the road SEC, Big XII, and even Big Ten teams must travel to get to the playoff.
