Guess who's schedule just went to one of the toughest

Called that one early boys.

Yep, as stated early on, "NCST is going to be sneaky tough."

Well, they aren't sneaky any more while knocking off 2 of the best teams in the ACC and one with what was once considered the best defense in the nation! NCST will play Pitt next and then have a bye while ND is playing USC. That means NCST will have 2 weeks to rest and prepare for the trip to South Bend. They have already proved they are capable of going on the road in a loud, hostile environment as an underdog and winning.

The Wolf Pack will come into South Bend pumped up sky high. Will Irish players be able to get up for them following USC? It's going to be a supreme challenge.

These are the things that good teams do. Play tough teams - beat tough teams. We'll find out soon enough if the 2017 Irish are contenders or pretenders.
 
As it looks, the only 1or even 2 loss opponent on the ND schedule is? UGA has the best shot, but I think they lose 2 or 3 (counting the SEC playoff game) A 2 loss power conference team is more deserving over a 1 loss non conference playoff ND. At least that is how I think the committee will see it.
 
My crystal ball is blurry. I want to say we are a lock to beat SC but the qb issue reminds me of 2011.
