“Off The Rails Podcast: Should Notre Dame still schedule Michigan in football?”
Not really but we need to play these perceived “powerhouses” to get to the current CF Championship.

Like Navy not a lot of upside since Michigan most often manages to choke
I’d rather play a UCF and wax them since they believe they belong with their shit league.
“Most often manages to choke?”The only time they didn’t was when they didn’t have to play Nebraska
who was easily the best team in 1997/1998. As Jarious Jackson proved the next year, they couldnt handle the option or a mobile, athletic QB. And nobody ran the option better than Nebraska back then.
UM won their one and only only co championship in the past 75 years by beating a team led by QB disaster Ryan Leaf.
I think that this justifies UM in it’s right to appeal that their perfect choking record is actually still intact.
Not until they show that they can beat OSU close to 50% of the time. They are not a great program
anymore.
No
Michigan is a fraud. 1/2 national title in the last 60 years. They simply are no longer relevant. They need us FAR more than we need them. Let's look elsewhere.
Nope
USC - annual
Navy - annual
Purdue/Sparty - alternate
Oklahoma/Texas - alternate
Stanford/Washington - alternate
5 ACC games
2 cupcakes/Shamwow Series
Re: Nope
They will not alternate Stanford and Washington. The reason for scheduling both Stanford and USC every year is that we can play one of them at home during the season and the other is played at their field as the last game. This is done for recruiting (playing in California every year for exposure and ending the season there so that the staff can stay longer and continue to recruit).
USC, Stanford, and Navy will remain on the schedule every year.
Should not, it's a no win situation, better off scheduling a Big10 west team

I hate Michigan but agree with the late Beano Cook
ND-UM is college football, they mean so much to the sport; they should play every yr..and the games are classics, at least most of them..
Honestly the risk outweighs the benefit from a scheduling perspective
It makes sense geographically and it draws in casual onlookers but it's not something that should happen every year.
Sure. Who doesn't like to see Harblow pout and squirm?
