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.
