Yeah. Navy is the most important opponent for ND. They'd drop everyone else before they ever drop Navy.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

ND has only played four other teams more times than it's played Pitt:Originally posted by Gaffords View Post
USC, Navy, Michigan State and Purdue.
I hope people don't think BC and Stanford are ND rivals. ND has actually played Air Force more than either of those teams.
I think the four games above are probably sacrosanct to ND. I'm not sure where the Michigan game falls, but they didn't play each other between 43 and 78 and they've skipped years since then.Part of it is based on academic grounds.

True, Stanford isn't as important as the big four rivals or Pitt. But ND alternates years playing @Stanford and @USC. I'd imagine that's on purpose to guarantee one trip to California per year.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostComment

Talked to an A&M fan today. Heaven help them if they aren't bitter as hell toward the Longhorns. Bridges won't burn fast enough as far as they're concerned.Comment

Perhaps a new Big 12 would require that only 7 conference games are played. If Pitt and Air Force were thrown in the mix then ND could play them every year and also continue scheduling Navy, USC, Michigan State and Purdue. They'd have one game left over to schedule ooc. They'd still be playing the five teams every year that they've played the most all-time. Additionally, maybe a scheduling wrinkle could be worked whereby they could play Texas every year.Part of it is based on academic grounds.
