re: ND schedule, not SEC caliber, but harder than I thought

for starters, those schools belong to AQ conferences, so obviously the talent level is superior.

I agree with your point to some extent though I'm not sure it's quite as big as you make it seem between a Purdue and Western Kentucky. I'd go with that talent gap for, say, Michigan State or Miami 100% even if they're not having a great years but not as much with Purdue or Wake.

You see Auburn being bashed as an opponent here when they'll probably end up with more NFL players off their current roster than all these other "cupcakes" that have been mentioned combined.


Again, if see my post on page three, I'm not knocking ND's schedule at all because they play 3 Top 20 type teams in Stanford, Oklahoma, Michigan and decent teams with some talent in USC, BYU and Mich State, Miami.

That's a pretty solid slate.
