The first Amways Coaches Poll of 2018 was released today. Your Notre Dame football team made the Top 25, landing in the No. 11 spot.
This should not come as too much of a surprise, given where the power rankings of other outlets have had the Irish slotted so far this year. The Irish finished at the biggest riser in last year’s poll, moving up six sports after the win over LSU in the Citrus Bowl to finish No. 11.
As far as the teams on Notre Dame’s 2018 schedule, X of them were also included in the Top 25.
