Each week in this space, we examine two things: Notre Dame’s strength of schedule (from USA Today‘s Sagarin rankings), and who Irish opponents are facing. For those of who want to scout future opponents, I’ll give you my recommendation for who to watch when you’re not watching Notre Dame Football.
Who To Watch
Virginia (2-0) vs Florida State (1-1), Sat 7:30PM ET, ACC Network
This week’s primetime game provides a bit of intrigue for Irish fans. On the one hand there’s a plucky Virginia squad, picked by many pundits to end up facing Clemson in the ACC title game — and more immediately for Notre Dame fans, the trap game following the Georgia road game.
