Granted, but it's not much different than a lot of ACC and Big 12 schedules, nor is it all that different from some Big Ten schedules––Penn State comes to mind. SC could easily have five losses going into week 12, and it's possible that BYU is the better team head to head. Under the current circumstances of bloated conferences and, likely, an ever-expanding playoff, the most ND needs from SC is to fill a week on the schedule. Notre Dame needs to be 11-1 or 12-0 to get into the playoff which isn't all that dissimilar from previous formats. I think college football needs games like ND vs. SC more than either of these two need the game and both programs choosing to walk away from the rivalry demonstrates that clearly.

Impressive

In what world does North Side dropping down to 4A change anything for 5A North? Losing Merrillville and Valpo hurts for sure, but there is no loss in good teams losing North Side. I'm willing to bet they won't get out of their sectional in 4A. Without Merrillville and Valpo, I would say there's only 4 real contenders for 4A North now (Warsaw, Lafayette Jeff, Snider, and Concord). So in that case, yes it would be more watered down.

The speed and skill level of these linmen is more than impressive. Reason for my edit lol I remember seeing this guy play on TV and being impressed. But man, this might put him on the UDFA list now.

There are some freaks there, for sure. I wonder who will be the guy who rockets up the draft boards based on what he does in shorts and a t-shirt. Might be this guy.
