Re: Steve was hoping for a more highly rated team...

Hey, a schedule is an empirical reality. A ranking is totally contrived. Which is why ND and Kentucky are both solid favorites against teams that are ranked higher than them. At least Kentucky and Alabama will mix it up with some really tough games on the schedule. ND and Miami, not so much.

BTW, I don't blame Miami especially because when they scheduled Florida State, Virginia Tech and Clemson, those programs were playing at a very high level.
