This now settles Notre Dame's scheduling for the next two seasons.

2015 Schedule

• vs. Texas
• at Virginia
• vs. Georgia Tech
• vs. UMass
• at Clemson
• vs. Navy
• vs. USC
• BYE
• at Temple
• at Pittsburgh
• vs. Wake Forest
• vs. Boston College (Fenway Park)
• at Stanford

The ending to next season is not looking very good for strength of schedule purposes, although things could change of course. Overall, this looks like a very friendly schedule. There is going to be so much pressure to go unbeaten next year.

2016 Schedule

• at Texas
• vs. Nevada
• vs. Michigan State
• vs. Duke
• at Syracuse (MetLife Stadium)
• at NC State
• vs. Stanford
• BYE
• vs. Miami
• at Navy (site TBD)
• vs. Army (Alamo Dome)
• vs. Virginia Tech
• at USC

This looks to be a much more balanced, and tougher, schedule than its predecessor.

We're now one game short of completing the 2017 schedule as well with home games against Georgia, Miami (OH), Navy, USC, NC State, and Wake Forest plus road games against Michigan State, Stanford, Boston College, North Carolina, and Miami.
