Nice take OP. I do think however that they will get drilled by Bama or Clemson if they play.
Hard to believe that Notre Dame's last NC was their 1988 team. Heck, OU has been dry since 2000, and Miami since 2001, Michigan and Nebraska since 1997 (Nebraska was betterInteresting note: Kelly two years ago finished 4-8, remind you of some team.
Another fact since Nebraska won their last Conference title Notre Dame has had losing season in
1999, 2001,2003,2007 besides two years ago including a 6-6 season in 2009.
By comparison Nebraska has had 5 losing seasons the past 15 years..

Also going on 13 & 14 years for Texas and USC. Some big names in a NC drought.
I don’t like Urban but I would have been fascinated with seeing Ohio St go up against Bama
