After the first game of the season against Michigan, it would be reasonable to argue that the Irish outmatched their opponent, at least on paper, each week. And that schedule included some fantastic programs — Virginia Tech, Stanford, USC and Syracuse. No matter who Notre Dame (12-0) was set to square up against, you could
