Walking Shadow -- I used to be as bitter as you regarding Notre Dame, and I still love ripping on them whenever I can, but honestly it doesn't do any good. Their fans will whine if ND isn't ranked and the anti-ND people will whine if they are ranked... but it always works out in the end, with ND getting stomped in their bowl game (what's the streak now, 7 losses in a row?) and Fat Charlie crying about it.
Honestly, I don't care who Notre Dame plays... so long as they lose.
That said, we all know how tough it is to go undefeated in college football, regardless of strength of schedule. Less than 2% of all teams do it in nearly any given year, which proves my point.
Most teams have a schedule with 3 or 4 tough games, some mid-range or "trap" games, and then a few "gimmies". Some teams get better draws than others, but I'd say in general things are pretty equal. I think it's just easier for people to exaggerate (one way or the other) about ND's strength of schedule because they aren't part of a conference.
