That's a lazy take. Notre Dame faces three top-15 SP+ teams in Texas A&M, Florida State, and USC. Their road schedule includes trips to Kyle Field and the Coliseum, two of the toughest environments in the sport. Their offensive line returns four starters and ranked top 10 in pass block grade last year. Calling that a fraud schedule ignores the data and the reality of those venues. They'll be battle-tested, not exposed.
