I've said about a hundred times that ND's schedule has been disappointing, but it isn't a joke, any more than most other teams' schedules. I've already posted this in another thread, but for every just plain bad team that ND has beaten, there's at least one that every other top team in the country has beaten. It's just that it's fashionable to trash ND no matter what so people gloss over the UL Monroes and the San Diego States on other teams' schedules and choose to trash ND for scheduling Washington and Pittsburgh.
