Summary
Notre Dame’s upcoming season opens with six non-playoff teams, offering a manageable early slate before facing true road tests at BYU and SMU. While the schedule lacks easy wins, it’s designed to build playoff grit—mirroring past championship runs with tough matchups like Miami and USC. Though not perfect, the lack of “pretty good but not great” opponents means every win counts, and the absence of a true playoff-caliber road game outside BYU leaves room for improvement. Still, with the right execution, this schedule could forge a championship-caliber team. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
