Notre Dame's Never Played Major 7

Since Notre Dame played Iowa State for the 1st Time Today and Won, I am going to bring up the 7 that have been Major Conference Members Every Step of the Way or Historically that have never played Notre Dame in College Football...

1. Arkansas (Biggest Never Played, and Will Play in 2020)

This would be the last of the 1950s Southwest Conference Members that Notre Dame has played for the 1st Time Ever. This is a halycon stat because there is not always focus on Period-Specific College Football Alignments.

2. Auburn (Inherits the Winningest Program Who's Never Played Notre Dame After Arkansas)

On the Paper Planes of the Central Plains of Alabama, hopefully we'd get an Auburn vs. Notre Dame Postseason Matchup by the End of 2020. I don't know if that is likely, but, we've had Big Nevers Break (Texas vs. Michigan, Texas vs. Ohio State, Georgia vs. Oklahoma) in this Century and Millennium.

3. Kentucky ( Notre Dame has never played Kentucky in College Football)

3-7 would be a toss up, but, After Auburn, Kentucky would be the next to never have played Notre Dame in College Football. I'd realize they've had history in Other Sports, but never College Football.

4. Oklahoma State (Oklahoma State is Home to the Most Conference Championship Trophies in the NCAA.)

The Oklahoma State Cowboys and Notre Dame Fighting Irish have never crossed paths on the Gridiron, and Oklahoma State's Postseason Lore has grown under Gundy.

5. Texas Tech (The Only Major Texas School to Miss Notre Dame in their History)

The 5th Nugget is particularly telling, because Texas Tech is the Only Major Texas School to miss Notre Dame in their Gridiron History.

6. Mississippi State (Have had one of the Longest Serving Radio Voices in College Football)

Mississippi State has not won a Conference Championship Since 1941 and their Bowl Streak has been developed this decade. Mississippi State and Notre Dame have never met on the Gridiron in their histories.

7. Kansas State (The Only Midwest Major Who's Never Played Notre Dame)

As of this Evening, Kansas State has became the Only Midwest Major who's never played Notre Dame on the Gridiron. The only tangible confrontation would have been had Collin Klein snooked a Heisman from Notre Dame's Arms instead of Johnny Football.
