Notre Dame to Pinstripe...

No, they'll want RU. They'd lose to Houston surely, but they'd destroy RU.

I am not so sure. Name Houston's biggest wins on their schedule:

Both teams went 8-4, but I don't see any wins against teams like Michigan State, Arizona State, Southern Cal or BYU on that schedule.

"Soon after the regular season ended, it was clear the rabid, deep-pocketed Notre Dame fan base would present ample opportunities for an eight-win team without any bowl tie-ins. One source said there were five viable options, with bowls essentially pitching deals to the Irish to entice their participation.

By Thursday, another source said the Pinstripe Bowl was meeting every demand Notre Dame was making, including per diem allotment, potential opponent and access to the Giants' indoor practice facility in East Rutherford, N.J.

The date was attractive as it will not interfere with Notre Dame's finals schedule. The seniors began to warm to cold-weather New York as a preferred destination, even if some staffers and players were hoping for a long-shot deal with the Hawaii Bowl."

If Rutgers is the opponent, they'll take credit for the high ratings, and big crowd.
