Kirk Herbstreit shreds Notre Dame as ’embarrassment’ for weak schedule

During an appearance on Get Up, Kirk Herbstreit criticized the current scheduling practices of Notre Dame, labeling their lack of difficult opponents as unfair compared to programs like Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State. He argued that the potential shift to a 24-team College Football Playoff necessitates a centralized scheduling authority to ensure teams face higher-quality non-conference competition.

While Herbstreit also noted that Indiana and other schools need to improve their slates, he specifically highlighted the Irish for having only two challenging matchups this season. Reports indicate that future expansion plans will mandate that Power 4 institutions play at least 10 games against similar-tier opponents, with Notre Dame expected to schedule more frequent contests against SEC and Big Ten programs.
