I mean, when they were down for a while most people were saying they should weaken their schedule.

I've always straddled the fence in this arguement. I don't think ND plays a tougher than average schedule nor do I think they play a weaker than average schedule.
They usually play 2-4 really really good teams like Michigan, USC, etc. Then they play about 3-4 cupcakes, and then mix in a bunch of 5-7 win teams. It's really no different than playing a Big Ten schedule and in years where the SEC isn't disgustingly loaded it's like playing an SEC schedule.
