    That game on September 8 at A&M should be a very, very tough game as well.....1st SEC game for the hometown Aggies.

    Yeah, the Irish can top that

    They play #s 3, 4, 8, 13, 18. Three of those five are on the road. We open the schedule in a foreign country. And in the continental United States we play games from Los Angeles, Ca to Boston, Ma.

    Checkmate! 8)

    On the road....early in the season....with that rabid fan base really stoked and a team ranked just outside the TOP 25.

    I think the Horns have found out a few times that can be a very testy game. Again......based on the rankings it's not UF's marquee game....the Gators have 4 of those.....but's it's a test.

    Aggregate ranking of UF's 4 ranked opponents: 5.8

    Aggregate ranking of ND's top 4 ranked opponents: 7

    Not bad....close.

    I see where the AP had another vote now that Honey Badger is out for the season. USC is now no. 1 and LSU has been dropped to 3.

    Irish play no. 1 and 4 on the road. They also play 8, 13, and 21.
