With the College Football Playoff expanding to eight teams and perhaps to 12 or 16 in the near future, a non-conference loss for either program isn’t nearly as fatal as it once would be, which should incentivize top-tier programs from squaring off against one another more often.
While Michigan’s rivalry against Notre Dame isn’t as intense as the rivalries of Ohio State and Michigan State, it’s still a matchup that receives national intrigue and is good for college football.
