Georgetown, Villanova, Xavier, Butler, Marquette vs. Duke, North Carolina, Syracuse, Pitt, NC State. Notre Dame isn't going to align themselves with small time schools. Also, you are forgetting the reason Notre Dame aligned itself with the ACC Notre Dame has a real hard tine scheduling football games in October and November because of conference play. Notre Dame now gets 5 of its 12 games scheduled for them a lot easier and they get a better home for its Olympic sports and makes more money with the ACC than the Catholic 7. If Notre Dame stayed independent it would hard for them to find 12 games each year to schedule the B1G schools(except Michigan State, Purdue) are going to start to freeze them out due to a bigger conference schedules, the Pac-12 already gives them 2 games, and the Big 12 and Pac-12 already play 9 game schedules. The SEC doesn't like playing tough non-conference home/homes outside of their ACC rivals. Notre Dame saw the writing on the wall and the ACC giving them 5 games a year is a win/win. In the Catholic 7 good luck getting 12 games each year worthy of a NC/4 playoff bid.
