We need a tougher non-conference schedule. That's my belief. I think it is in our best interest. My preference would be playing east coast schools, and Notre Dame is an east coast school, excepting its physical address, and Chicago.
.Using your logic, wouldn't VA Tech be a superior choice?

Possibly. Whoever would draw the largest east coast tv audience would win out, and I suspect this would be Notre Dame.
True, teh fainting eyerash would do better with NY & Boston, but VA Tech is mighty popular from DC on down.
Plus, for a home & home, I can get tix to Lane Stadium in Blacksburg from my VA Tech alum neighbor. Body armor extra, of course.
In todays world of college football Notre Dame has the same degree of relevancy as Northwestern. No thanks.

Time to remove ISwho? and add the golden domers, both teams are about the same in regards to competition. Eliminate one useless opponent for a nationally televised game every other year works for me.
When is all of that exposure we are getting in Arizona going to start paying off?
