2017 Schedule - No USC?

[1Redrum]

For some strange reason I was looking at the 2017 ND Schedule and USC is not listed. Is this confirmed as a year off or just not officially scheduled yet?

It looks like a brutally tough schedule as it is....

Imagine they are waiting to place it in one of the October weekends. Usually the PAC releases it's conference schedule 1 year in advance. So they might not know their schedule to figure out which Oct. date works

USC will be on one of those TBD dates in October, they have just nor decided on which one. The other one will be our bye week.

@1Redrum if you look at the bottom of that schedule it says USC is a home game the date is the only thing not set.

That is a killer schedule. hadn't paid attention to it before. But with no conference championship game and this arbitrary selection process, winning with that schedule would be undeniable.

To hell with SC

Place them at the bottom of the schedule as originally agreed to

Wish we could swap the dates of the Temple and Navy games. Playing Navy the week before Stanford is gonna be tough.

Thanks. This is a schedule that if they can win all of the games or even lose one (as long as it is not near the end of the year...) they will be in the playoffs.

The Temple coach will probably have moved on to bigger and better things.
Georgia will be in the second year of a new regime. Who knows.
If BC isn't any better than they were this year, you may see a first year coach there in 2017.
@smu will be tough, but ND wins there often.
Miami (Ohio) - ya, whatever.
UNC - Very possible that their coach gets picked off by someone else as well. They are certainly building a strong base. Then again, will they ever be punished for the years of giving grades to athletes?
USC - This might be most interesting. They will have the athletes, but who know what type of DC they will bring in (if indeed Wilcox is history).
NCState and Wake at home - ND should win by two scores over both, and easily.
@ Miami - Again, they will have the athletes. Who will the coach be?
Navy - Never easy these days, but it seems ND has relearned how to stop the option.
@ Stanford - Again going east coast to west coast, not a good idea. Stanford is tough. Let's hope the defense and red-zone offense are better this time around.

Gotta let it go, DIP, let it go!

Tough Schedule? Which of these teams concern you the most?

Georgia, Michigan State, North Carolina, USC, Stanford in no particular order could all be top 15 ranked teams. Temple may continue to be a decent team, Navy is well Navy and even the NC State Wolfpack could be good...never mind Miami always has potential...second year of a new coaches program.......Who is the patsy? Miami of Ohio?

You never know though with the trash people on that selection committee.
