I came across this article on yahoo of all places. It's a countdown where they rank each of Notre Dame's opponent from 12 down to 1. Apparently we check in at number 5 in difficulty.

And here's ND's schedule, just in case you want to take a look at it yourselves: https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...fighting-irish
They've yet to release they're top 4 hardest opponents, but here's who they are in no particular order: Florida State, Wisconsin, USC, and UNC.
I could see maybe ranking one or two of these teams ahead of us, but even that might be a bit of stretch. We rank higher in most preseason polls than all of them. Some of them have UNC ahead of us, I think one has USC up there. But I think if you were to somehow take a compensite ranking, we'd rank either 1st or 2nd in terms of best 2021 opponent.
Look, I know preseason polls are meaningless but this just really irked me for some reason. We've been very good, and we were excellent last year. We're proven. We've got 13 of 21 starters returning with key positions filled. We also have depth that seen a ton of time. How in the **** are you're going to rank Florida State ahead of us?
PS If someone has a 247 account will you share this link on BearcatJournal for me? I'd be curious to see this article get a larger reaction.
