Corrigan likes to schedule like Desko did when he had that last stretch of really good games. 12 or so games, almost no mid week games and zero mid week games in the later half of the season. ND has some rule about mid week games as Powell noted but I don't think it would change much if they didn't.

IF your really good there's no real issue scheduling so few games but ND has made some mistakes this year. Unlike when Desko did it Corrigan added two cupcakes in Marquette and Cle State. That was a mistake, he should have played one of them and then played an Army or Denver or a St. Joes type of team or another higher mid major. The other issue is that they lost what looks like their two biggest OOC games in Maryland and Ohio State. Yes Michigan just beat Maryland but there going to be lucky to finish above .500 when the season ends.  I also didn't understand scheduling Penn. They weren't projected to be in the upper echelon of the conference and that game at the end of the year is only a lose/lose at this point.

ND has put itself in a tough spot with such a small schedule there is little room for error if things go south. Now they are still a very talented team and I fully expect they will likely win a number of ACC games if not the conference itself but ya the next two games for them are absolutely enormous.

Danowski is the opposite, he can't play enough games. Duke would play 20 if they would let him. Danowski usually goes a good job mixing in elite OOC opponents with upper level mid majors to spike the RIP and other #s. Although again that Denver loss was really a bad one in the context of the season they are having.
