On an eventful Thursday, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish not only learned their schedule, they also have a ranking. The Coaches Poll was released and the Irish come in at #10.
I don’t think you’ll find many complaints from Irish fans here, and given the dramatic drop in out of conference games around the country, there could be massive movement week to week.
Notre Dame has only two opponents ranked inside of the Top 25 — the Clemson Tigers #1 and the North Carolina Tar Heels.
