Would you rather be this steamroller of a team that maybe hasn't been tested that is very similar to Ohio State a year ago?

Or would you rather be an Ohio State team that took a couple losses but played multiple playoff teams and maybe is more prepared for it?

And this might be a good test case.

You don't have to lose.

You should be able to do it.

You should be able to win and do it.

But sometimes it's hard, Landis, right?

I agree with you.

Matt, before we leave Notre Dame here, with the ACC scheduling agreement and then you look at these other games, the Big Ten teams that are playing are Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Purdue.

They're playing Rice.

We know they're always going to play Navy.

Is this just a blip and this is the way it is?

Or do you look at this schedule and think to yourself, man, Notre Dame's got to do something here and make sure they're playing a couple more marquee games, especially in a world where they're not playing USC at the moment every season?

Okay, that's a good discussion.

We're going to move to some more win total stuff.

And Landis, we'll start with you.

There are three teams that have win totals of 10.5.

As we said, there are the two teams at the top in Notre Dame and Texas Tech who are at 11.5.

At 10.5 wins are Indiana, Oregon, and Miami.

Bill, who do you like more to go over of those three teams?
