#23 Notre Dame

2010-2011: 8-5 (Independent)

The Irish are consistently overrated simply because they are Notre Dame, but suddenly I have decided this season is finally the year Notre Dame breaks through and kinda returns to respectability.  The Irish have 3 things going for them: (1) A high powered offense led by Dane Christ and the mind of Brian Kelly (2) A strong linebacker corp and (3) A very  easy schedule (customary).  All the Irish have to do is play good football and they can easily win ten games.  The only two tough tests are Stanford and USC (unranked due to scandal) with ten very winnable games sprinkled around them.

2011-2012 Outlook:
Key Game: September 10th @Michigan...This game seems to swing the Irish's season.  Michigan could be tough, especially in the Big House.
Predicted Record: 9-3 {losses versus Michigan, Michigan State, and Stanford}
