I would certainly be nervous if we had to start Marcus and Jordan. And don't get me wrong, I'm sure their #1s would play better than their #3s. I'm just trying to dispel the notion that we can just show up and get an automatic win because their third string is out there - their third string is...

I had no idea either, I just remember from when we added Louisville that there was a (small) uproar among some that we didn't get UConn bc their academics fit in closer with what we were losing (Maryland). That said, I think Navy is up there too in terms of academics.

I could see moving UVA to the south and Miami to the north (i.e. the "Big East" division of the ACC), provided that there are permanent rivals between UVA and VT.

It's not a great school but its up there in terms of schools we'd be adding. It's at the back end of the top tier if you define that as top 50 or so. Definitely better than Louisville. Navy from what I understand is a good school too though.

Well for starters Kizer is 6'5" and weighs over 210 pounds. He's got a cannon and was a top 15 recruit who was offered by tons of teams, including from what I can tell Bama, LSU, Michigan State. Is he human? Yes. But this isn't like a few years ago when we played a converted linebacker...

There is a 0% chance Texas would leave to join the ACC. If they leave the first conference they are calling is the SEC.

UConn would be a great add and fits with everything the ACC has tried to do. Pretty much all of the recent additions have been, at least in part, because of basketball - Louisville, Pitt, ND, Syracuse. Navy's basketball is so bad I can see that keeping them from an invitation. UConn won a...

I think you'd have tremendous pushback from the North Carolina schools about this. UVA and UNC have to play each other every year, as do NCSU and Wake, etc.

I think they would probably keep the cross division game, but my guess is clemson would be moved to our division. There could be a swap up between the Carolina and Virginia teams. It's a very similar problem recently confronted by the SEC. There is no way UNC and UVA won't play each other...

I could be wrong but I don't see playing every team in your division every year. I think they'd go to a 6+2 or even a 9 game conference format.

I think if ND joined you'd see a complete reshuffle, along with an invitation to UConn or Cincy (probably UConn because of academics) I think then you'd see a redistricting of North/South as follows: North: Syracuse, UConn, BC, Pitt, Virginia, VT, Louisville, ND South: Miami, FSU, GT, Clem...

The more I think about the game, the more I think it's going to be a knock down drag out fight between two great/prepared teams. I think we are in for a helluva ride, just hope the good guys come out on top.

This is the bigger thing to me. We've got years of how ND will defend Navy, though not sure how long BVG will be there. I'm sure CPJ will have an answer for everything they throw at us. The question is execution, not scheme

Who refs the notre dame - acc games? Acc refs?

I don't think they've had that bad of a run. Too lazy to look it up, but unless they have a terrible coach they win 8-10 games every year. They played in the national championship what, three years ago? By and large I think their main problem has been coaching, but they've had pretty good...

I thought this was really awesome. You hear it a lot from our players when we go up against the FSUs and Clemsons of the world. This dude is saying its a privilege and an honor to play against US!! “I mean it’s so fun. This is one of the reasons for coming to Notre Dame, this is one of the...

Love the story. That said, it still doesn't seem like BVG has contempt for CPJ? Maybe I'm wrong - you definitely would know better than me.

It's not like he was that great either. Aside from the 39 yard pass, he was 7-11 (ok that is good) for a mere 53 yards. Kizer's first possession? 5 plays, 26 yards, punt. Kizer was 2-3 for 9 yards. Second possession? 0-1 with a sack. Third possession? He went 1-3 for 8 yards to start...

At one loss I find it hard to believe that we wouldn't make it. There's only so many seasons that have ended with 3 major undefeated schools. Let's assume we end up with one loss and win the ACC (we won't go if we have 2). That means we beat 4 top 10/15 teams, including one from the SEC. Now...
