How are you guys feeling about this weekend? Nervous, excited, both? Confident, uneasy?

Everyone vote and we'll see what the consensus is
Notre Dame is Very Good and not Unknown. If UNC, Florida State, or Louisville had won 25 ACC games in 2021, they would be National Seeds. ND did not play a northern team schedule, no games vs Maine, Hofstra, Sacred Heart, or Minnesota.

(1) ND is 13-6 versus regional and super regional teams (Duke, FSU, GT, NC State, UNC, and Virginia); 13-5 if you don't factor a blowout loss to Virginia in the ACCT
(2) ND never got swept
(3) ND only lost 1 Series, Florida State at Home
(4) ND Caveat - they played nearly all their big series at Home, only the Virginia series was on the road. Including a series split with Louisville.
(5) ND won all their Away series, 14-4 record vs (BC, Clemson, Pitt, Virginia Swept, VT, and Wake)

MSU
(1) MSU is 13-11 versus regional and super regional teams in our better conference and factoring the Arlington tournament; 13-9 if you exclude the SECT.
(2) MSU only lost a big series to Vandy and Arkansas, that's calling Mizzou a non-big series. We beat LSU, OM, USCarolina
(3) MSU is 10-8 in series vs regional and super regional teams. Playing at least 2 games vs someone.
