There’s been a narrative forming over the last couple of weeks that Notre Dame is a candidate to start the season in the top 10 and finish the season unranked. Even some Notre Dame sites have given the notion some thought. Well, I am here today to say that the idea of Notre Dame finishing this season unranked is a bunch of clickbait nonsense. Barring catastrophic injuries, it ain’t happening to this team.
The main reason people are giving this credence is that it has happened to Notre Dame recently. Just three year ago Notre Dame was a top 10 at the start Labor Day weekend.
