Hosting top 5 teams


Feb 22, 2020, 8:18 PM

In an earlier thread, the possibility that the ND game will be two top five teams going at it, and the subsequent discussion on how many times Notre Dame had hosted a top five team while they were also a top 5 team was held. It was determined that ND had done this 4 times in the past 50 years. We were surprised, but now, it does not look very surprising...

I looked, Clemson has done it twice, both in the last 7 years (2013, Clemson (3) vs FSU (5) and 2016, Clemson (5) vs Louisville (3)).

Of course, the coots have never done it.

But as a reference, even Bama, in the over hyped SEC, has only done it five times in the last 50 years! In 1982, 2005, 2011, 2014 and 2019. Three of them were with the other over-hyped team in that conference, LSU, and the other two were Miss St and Penn St.

So apparently, it is a rare occurrence!

Using AP results for all of this, in 2012, the coots and bullpups played at the roach with the coots ranked 6th and the bullpups ranked 5th.
