Notre Dame all-time vs. each Big Ten football team

Which Big Ten team do you wish Notre Dame played annually and why?

Notre Dame tried for years to join the Big Ten but was not allowed.  Now many want Notre Dame to join a conference full-time but the school remains independent in football and with the good lord willing, they’ll continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

The member schools of the Big Ten have changed over the years but the conference called the Big Ten now has 14 members, and those 14 members have been playing football against the Irish for quite some time.

Notre Dame hosted and defeated Purdue and Wisconsin in 2021 in their only games against Big Ten foes.  The Irish opened the 2022 season at Ohio State in their only Big Ten match-up on the year.  2023 sees the Irish play host the Buckeyes in late September.

How has Notre Dame fared against each current Big Ten football team all-time?

Let’s take a peak.

Notre Dame Football: All-Time vs. No. 1

Notre Dame has played 24 games all-time against the nation’s top team in the AP Poll. How have they fared? Find out here…

Since the Associated Press began running out a college football poll way back in 1936, Notre Dame has played the top ranked team in the nation 24 different times as No. 1 Clemson becomes the 25th such game in Notre Dame history.

The first such game came all the way back in the poll’s first year, 1936, when Notre Dame upset the top-ranked Northwestern Wildcats in late November.

The latest occurred 15 years ago when the night ended in heartbreak for Notre Dame as the upstart Irish lost in the finals seconds to Reggie Bush and USC.

Twitter reacts to Georgia football’s win over TAMU

Twitter reacts as Georgia football beat Texas A&M.

Georgia football advanced to 10-1 with a win over Texas A&M on Saturday night.

With that win, Georgia closed out SEC play with a record of 7-1 and looks to advance to an overall 11-1 mark with a win over Georgia Tech on Saturday.

The Bulldogs, who will have a chance to take home the SEC Championship for the second time in three years two weeks from now vs LSU, will enjoy their win over the Aggies before getting back to work for Tech.

The game was not pretty at all. The offense played, well, poorly – aside from Rodrigo Blankenship that is.

But the Georgia strategy, as frustrating and questionable as it may be, has worked.

What’s that strategy, you ask?

Play great defense and just good enough offense.

Here are some social media reactions to the Georgia win:

 

Georgia football tickets vs TAMU: Stats and info on price trend

Stats and info on the price trend for Georgia football tickets vs Texas A&M.

Georgia vs Texas A&M this Saturday will mark the first time the two two programs have met since the Aggies joined the SEC in 2012.

And with this being No. 4 Georgia’s final home game of the season, ticket prices are not coming cheap. However, they are cheaper now than if you were to buy them just a few days ago.

This weekend’s game is averaging $317 per ticket on the secondary market and the get-in price is currently $88, down $50 earlier this week, according to TicketIQ. The average price has gone down 21% over the course of the week.

Also, with Georgia having secured a spot in the SEC Championship Game, tickets for the conference title game have skyrocketed.

Tickets for the 2019 SEC Championship are the most expensive of any conference championship, by a lot. Currently, the average asking price for a ticket to the game on the secondary market is $1,285, up from $820 last year, and the highest it’s been this decade. The next priciest game was the 2017 Georgia-Auburn game, which settled at a $945 average asking price. The cheapest ticket in the 71,00-seat stadium is trending at $343. The next most expensive 2019 conference championship is the Big 10 Championship,  starting at $92.

The Bulldogs have a real shot at making another visit to the College Football Playoff, and with Georgia’s success comes an increase in ticket prices. Playoff tickets are up over the last two weeks, as you can see below.
