ND fan - No SEC team could survive their schedule this year

Schedule-I keep coming back to this meaning if you took ANY sec team and made them play that schedule they would have losses. And more than likely enough losses to keep them out of the last game. The style of play/turf variations/weather/on the road situations would eat them up. They (sec) have the market cornered with where they play/who they play/when. I do not see Notre Dame back in the last game until they run the table again. Then fingers will have to be crossed to see if everyone else has lost like this year. This bothers me because as they pound their chest they (any sec team including alabama) would have losses after that schedule and their stock would go down in for getting into the last game. Notre Dames only hope for another shot at the title is when the 4 team deal starts and they by record and strength of schedule are in the top 4. Personally I'd like to see the playoff be 6 teams with 1/2 getting byes. I repeat-I challenge anyone from sec country to tell me they have a team that could play this schedule and survive. Of course they will say they beat those teams in bowls games-we all know that is bull%$#@. Play this schedule and come out with one loss-no way I dont care who you are. So far only Notre Dame has been able to do that. I'll stop saying this statement when my fellow IrishEnvy mates tell me to---EMBRACE THE PAIN OF THE @## KICKING BY ALABAMA AND LET IT FUEL YOU!

Is this just like the "Manti is as good as any SEC defender" crap we heard too?

Comparing that to some of the ridiculous stretches SEC schedules have is hilarious.
Earlier I saw the Arkansas stretch of A&M, Bama, Florida and South Carolina. I know OM has a bad one early in the year too. frick ND

There isn't one difficult game on that schedule.

quote:USC would go 11-1 at best and 9-3 at worst with this schedule. Losses in order of likelihood: @ Stanford, @ Michigan, & Oklahoma. After them, I really don't see a game that USC could lose.

ND faces 2 of the ESPN Preseason Top 9 and 4 of the Top 23.
Mississippi State plays 3 of the Top 8 and 5 of the Top 16.

This is just unreal:

But the team didn't get smacked. Not in January by Alabama. There were a few mistakes, the coaches were a bit uninformed in their approach to the game but it is all good.

The reason people try to beat up on SEC schedules is becasue of the Chatanooga's and Georgia States. If you have 2-3 rent-a-wins on the schedule, they will try to use that to bash your whole schedule, even if you have 3 top 10 teams in a row on it.
This is why i wish LSU would drop the in state schools and pick up bottom/mid tier BCS conference teams instead. They look much better on paper even though neither should be close. With the new playoff system, some fools will try to claim this very thing to keep it from being multiple SEC teams in the playoff.

Geez they're butt hurt and delusional. There is one maybe 2 tough games on that schedule for the upper half of the SEC. At Stanford and at Michigan because they're on the road. Mizzou would give OU a game at home so I would lay money that the upper half of the SEC wins that game, some easily, at home.
Bama, LSU, UGA, UF, USC and A&M would all have a chance to run the table with that schedule. Hell, Mizzou would probably go 8-4 with that schedule and we ain't good.

Notre Dame always has a solid schedule. I don't see the big deal.
