In reply to: ND schedule is a ridiculous embarrassment posted by ccb
This is veering slightly off-topic, but I don't think you can include Stanford as a "good" opponent without including Michigan St.
Here are the Final AP rankings of ND's regular season opponents:
#2 Georgia (loss)
#12 USC (win)
#13 Miami (loss)
#15 Mich St (win)
#20 Stanford (loss)
#23 NC St (win)
And in the bowl game they played #18 LSU (win).
That said, I have no disagreement with your overall point that the original post was nonsensical.
