The college football season is really right around the corner now. The AP Top 25 dropped its rankings on Monday, and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will start the season ranked #5 in the nation.
Notre Dame’s 2022 season includes four preseason Top 25 residents — which has two ranked in the top 4:
#2 Ohio State Buckeyes (6 first place votes)
#4 Clemson Tigers
#14 USC Trojans
#25 BYU Cougars
The only other Irish opponent that received any AP votes are the North Carolina Tar Heels (#44).
