I asked for some feedback (both here and on social media) last week on who Notre Dame’s football rivals are, and opinions are varied (as I expected). Below is my list of Notre Dame’s rivals and/or significant series that I’m going to write about during the off-season. If there’s a team not on the list that you’d like to see me write about, add it to the comment section below!
