ND - Michigan in '18 to be announced tomorrow?

[Blaise]

most definitely. We have no idea how good the teams on our schedule are gonna be in 2018 anyways. CFB is just way too volatile these days to look that far ahead.

Exactly... if you looked at MSU 8 years ago we wouldn't have much love.. V Tech can be built into a top ACC power by then... Duke might go back to being turd Duke...


I feel like anything can happen.. I am all for putting as many name programs on a schedule as I can...

Why Michigan Scheduling Notre Dame Complicates Rutgers 2019 Football Schedule

That has to be the hardest September in the history of football.


You're wrong. If you're on right when the tickets go live, you'll be able to get two singles at face value. They won't be together, but you can use them to negotiate yourself into a pair.

Are you expecting them to ALL be in the TOP 5? C'mon man. No way that comes close to being the hardest Sept. in the history of CFB history.

Chillax.

BTW, in 1989, 3 of the 4 teams ND played in from Labor Day to the end of Sept., won 8-10 games EACH. In fact, they had 31 Wins by the end of the season.

That seems pretty daunting, considering you cannot see 3 years into the future. Were people complaining about us playing an up and coming VA team, Michigan, MSU and Purdue? No. So why are complaining about a schedule 3 years from now when you don't even know how things will change? I think this past weekend with the ND football team proves that you cannot predict the future one week from now, much less 3 years from now.

That's not the actual order of the schedule. I think that post is from most-to-least difficult.

Here's the schedule as it stands so far:

09/02 - at Louisville (Labor Day)
09/07 - OPEN (short week)
09/14 - New Mexico
09/21 - at Georgia
09/28 - Virginia
10/05 - OPEN
10/12 - OPEN
10/19 - at Georgia Tech
10/26 - at Michigan
11/02 - VT
11/09 - at Duke
11/16 - OPEN
11/23 - at BC
11/30 - OPEN

That leaves USC, @Stanford, and Navy to be put in on those open dates. Stanford will be 11/30, unless they can't go that late for some reason, in which case the season won't end on the west coast for the first time in a long time.

The best way might be to put USC after Virginia and Navy before GT, that way you get the triple-option two weeks in a row, staying in practice in terms of defending it. But that's an awful lot of BODY BLOW THEORY.

Sorry but that schedule is totally manageable. Seriously manageable.
