Notre Dame has a good team, but I believe them being in the top four is weak. If they played in the SEC west, they would have two losses minimum. LSU currently has a schedule at Florida, Georgia, Miss State and now Alabama all in a row (with a bye week). I would like to see Notre Dame survive that without losses. Notre Dame can schedule a cupcake, and then play a good team, and then do the cupcake thing again and they play a good team. They don't have to put in the week after week grind like other conferences. Let's see them at the very least get in their basketball conference with Clemson and the other teams in the ACC. I don't respect a team not playing in a conference.
