Am I the only one who expects USC to win at South Bend? I'm sure it'll be a great game but that SC offense is very good.

Disagree with Maryland. You want the teams we have remaining to lose to create the easiest path.
I see no advantage statistically, emotionally, mentally, or momentum-wise (one way or another) to hope Michigan wins against Washington.
We, above all else, need to beat Washington. We don’t play Michigan, so we need Washington to beat Michigan so that we “win by proxy“.
I agree with everything else on your list, though.
Depends… Where are they going out to eat the night before?

LOL - I kinda walked right into that one.
I think best possible outcome is that Washington loses like we lost to Indiana.
Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City, is where they stay.
Of note, ND made the announcement today that one of their top d lineman, Gabe Rubio, is out for the game with an elbow injury. That is a big loss for the Irish, on a defense that's been very wobbly this season (although much better these last two games).
Also, the forecast is for 64 and notable rain for the game, which kicks off at 7:30 local.

That is my impression as well. However, in another thread there was a chart of top college passing offenses and ND was rated higher than USC. FYI, Illinois was rated 3rd behind Washington and Indiana.
ND started out with 2 top opponents but haven’t played against anyone since. USC is coming off games against Illinois and Michigan.
USC has to overcome road game in very tough stadium.
I personally want RUT and MD to have 5 game losing streaks before playing us.

I agree with your choices and will add that the Michigan win ideally will be close and physically tasking.
Agree with everything except Michigan. I want Washington coming in fat and happy. Most of the time it seems like good teams play their best after a loss, and i think Washington is a good team. Plus that SOS boost would be nice. USC, Washington, and Duke all finishing with 9+ wins would make our schedule look really good.
I don't understand your sentiment with Michigan vs Washington? Washington becomes a ranked road victory with a win. I want Washington to win a close game where Michigan physically dominates them.
If USC wins, I expect to see ND in the top 10 next week and USC to drop out of T25.
You know, common sense type stuff
Id love to see them add SMU (Southern Mattoon University) to the schedule and lose.
Brohm ain't going anywhere at this time.
