## Resource

Notre Dame is poised to make a big splash in 2026, with coach Marcus Freeman and QB C.J. Carr leading a squad ESPN’s Power Index ranks third overall. They’re targeting a top seed, not just a playoff spot, and their schedule is surprisingly easy—ranked 56th hardest in the nation—with Miami as the only real threat. But with a non-conference slate that’s easier than teams like Cincinnati or Pittsburgh, is it time for Notre Dame to step up and face tougher competition?
