Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

And my claim will still hold true......that's the point, lol.

I think ND's schedule is . . . interesting. 

It isn't complete garbage. There are a slew of decent teams and the worst teams aren't all that bad which I think was @Brutus Buckeye point. Toledo is probably the worst of the bunch and the Rockets are vastly better than a lot of the FCS dumpster 🔥 that you see as the worst teams on a typical SEC team's schedule. 

OTOH, if the Irish are anything like a legitimate NC contender then there isn't much scary on their schedule unless Wisconsin,  VaTech, USC, or a random surprise are much better than expected. 

I see it as a weird schedule because an NC contender should easily go at least 11-1 against it but a borderline top-25 quality team might struggle to go .500 because nearly every game could be competitive.

All that is fair.  
But I don't see the utility in differentiating between teams that aren't going to beat you.  Whether it's Toldedo or UTEP or Wofford....it's an easy win.  Yes, teams screw around and it's closer than it should be or there's a RARE outright upset, but they're so infrequent that they're not statisictally significant.  

I agree whether you play an upper level G5 team or FCS, a top flight P5 will have their way with either, perhaps excepting the very two two of the G5s.  Perhaps.

Cincy certainly took UGA to the last second, literally, last year, and UGA, while not elite, was pretty decent.

Honestly- with Michigan falling off the cliff from it's 2016 peak and sucking ass- to Ohio State just running roughshod and steam-rolling the entire B1G- to Clemson/BAMA swapping MNC titles year after year - completely losing interest in the damn sport. Might not even watch CFB in 2021.

Ahh... #helmetteamproblems

If my interest in the sport was related to the chances of my team winning the MNC... 

...I'd never have gotten interested at all.

It is interesting how some Blue Blood and near that programs are, well, down well below their traditional standards.

USC  Miami  FSU  Tennessee  Texas  Michigan  Eastern Michigan  Auburn a bit  

Nobody has exactly replaced them near the top quite yet, I think.  Clemson obviously ... 

The Wolverines were a title contender for most of 2018.

How quickly things can change.

I don't care if my team is involved, but it doesn't feel like many teams are involved.
