Summary
Notre Dame’s West Coast rivalries are fading — USC’s inconsistency, Stanford’s struggles, and the absence of Cal and UCLA have weakened their matchups. To compensate, Notre Dame’s schedule has shifted, even including BYU for strength of schedule. But the tide may be turning: Stanford’s hiring a new coach and bringing back Andrew Luck in a management role, UCLA’s new head coach brings proven success, and California as a whole exceeded expectations last season. With USC potentially returning and Cal, UCLA, and Stanford all on the rise, Notre Dame’s future West Coast battles could be more exciting than ever.
