This is a sensitive topic, but the discussion is a legitimate and interesting one. With USC football moving into the Big Ten and having a tough schedule, should the Trojans consider dropping Notre Dame from future slates?
Fighting Irish Wire found a message board post which presented the topic and raised the question.
Here’s Irish Wire’s Nick Shepkowski:
“Michigan has stacked their non-conference schedule with the likes of UNLV, East Carolina, and Bowling Green and won a national championship while doing so.
“Again, I don’t see it happening anytime soon as I’d like to think USC has far too much pride to run from one of college football’s greatest rivalries, but the poster certainly makes a solid point of everything being about making the College Football Playoff and how a cupcake non-conference slate would help that.
“This is something we’ll certainly discuss with Trojans Wire this off-season.”
Yes, we will definitely discuss this.
