Ranked Teams On Notre Dame's Schedule...


With just one game left on Notre Dame's 2019 football schedule -- I thought I'd take a look at all of the teams that have been ranked, at some point this season -- that the Fighting Irish have played...

TEAMS THAT HAVE BEEN RANKED -- SEVEN!

Here's the current Top 10 ranked teams -- and how many teams on their schedule that have been ranked:
  • LSU:  4 opponents; Texas, Florida, Auburn and Alabama
  • Ohio State:  5 opponents; Indiana, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan
  • Clemson: 2 opponents;  Texas A&M and Wake Forest
  • Georgia:  4 opponents; Notre Dame, Florida, Auburn and Texas A&M
  • Alabama: 3 opponents; Texas A&M, LSU and Auburn
  • Oregon: 4 opponents; Auburn, Washington, USC and Arizona State
  • Utah:  4 opponents; USC, Arizona State, Washington State and Washington
  • Penn State: 5 opponents; Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio State
  • Oklahoma: 3 opponents; Texas, Baylor and Oklahoma State
  • Minnesota: 3 opponents; Penn State, Iowa and Wisconsin 

So, if you hear anything about STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE, or NOTRE DAME DOESN'T PLAY IN A CONFERENCE or, NOTRE DAME DOESN'T PLAY ANYBODY -- use this ammunition.
