"To Hell with Notre Dame"
An interesting debate has sparked between Michigan fans as to whether or not Notre Dame should even be scheduled anymore. On the one hand, it's a storied rivalry that has resulted in some of the most exciting games of the last decade of Michigan football. On the other hand, it's an overplayed non-conference game with higher probability of losing and hurting playoff implications.
I was well on-board with continuing to schedule Notre Dame until I realized that Michigan's upcoming non-conference games include Washington, UCLA, Texas, and Oklahoma.
