No reason to hate.

But Notre Dame does NOT belong in the “Championship”

It plays too easy a schedule.

It plays too easy a schedule.
A quick hop around the Internet and I found 3-4 sites (like this one ) listing ND's pre-season 2012 schedule anywhere from 1st to 8th hardest.
I don't think that's "too easy."
