Things Could Change for Domers after Bye Week

As you might already know, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team in the middle of their Bye Week, which means that they will not have another official game until November 3rd. Many people have noticed that the four games coming up, the last regular season games this year, will be against teams that have a noticeable lack of victories. Notre Dame had a very ambitious schedule for most of the year, often playing ranked teams, or teams that would later become ranked. If you run through the numbers, you can see that the teams on the Notre Dame schedule before the break are a combined 46-15, good for a winning percentage of .754. After the break the Irish will face Navy, Air Force, Duke and Stanford. Even with Air Force’s nifty record, the combined record of the post-break Domer opponents is only 14-15 (.483). If you cancel out the Air Force game, the winning percentage drops to a very intriguing .381.

If you are thinking what this blogger is thinking, then you have to be excited about the chances of wining a few at the end here. The Navy, Duke and Stanford games are by far the most winnable. We have yet to see the Irish face any team that (currently) does not have a winning record, so you should be anxious to see how they compare to a team or two that has struggled this season.
