So what does the perfect Notre Dame schedule look like? Ask people and you will probably receive 5 different answers. However, I think this is actually relatively cut and dry, and something most Notre Dame fans would agree with.
For what it is worth, I love playing teams from each conference on a regular basis. It is a great way to spread out top notch games, but at the same time, in my perfect schedule this eliminates that from discussion. I value rivalries, and overall, I believe Notre Dame does do. If it were 100 percent up the university, Michigan State and Purdue would still be on the schedule every season.
