Notre Dame had an early bye week and sat at home during week 2 of the college football season. All 12 of their opponents, however, were in action. The schedule went 10-2 for the week and now has an overall record of 19-3. Despite only two teams being currently ranked, we could see as many as five schools ranked after their week 3 games.
While I’ll never advocate for any Irish fan to openly cheer for another team just because the team is on Notre Dame’s schedule, I don’t see a problem with keeping
track of how they do each week.
