This.
The five-game set works ideally for Notre Dame. They utilize a format of six home games in South Bend, five away games, and one major metropolitan area neutral site "Shamrock Series" home game for scheduling. This preserves traditional yearly rivalries with USC, Stanford, and Navy - and five rotating ACC opponents (two away ACC games will coincide in even years with away games at Navy and three away ACC games will coincide in odd years with home games against Navy), two home and home series (one home game and one away game), one one-time opponent home game, and the traveling Shamrock Series home game.
