How about you give us all the research on ratings for ND vs BC, USC, Miami, Navy or their other traditional rivalries. It is not 1985 and if you`re not in a Power 5 Conference, independent teams are on the outside looking in even if you are Notre Lame. Notre Dame has barely been mentioned during bowl season because regardless of their millions and TV ratings, nobody cares. They are not a NY6 or playoff team, not a conference champ, and LOST to the teams that mattered on the national stage.
