Notre Dame “Not Hot” to ESPN

ESPN.com has a “Hot or Not” list that was recently written by Mark Schlabach. It will be disappointing for fans of Notre Dame Football to see that the Fighting Irish made the “Not” list right off the bat. You won’t have to scroll down too far to find that USC made the hot list, and UND made the opposite side. Schlabach states that the Irish will have a tough time this season as they will be without Brady Quinn and Jeff Samardzija. A lot of their defense has left as well. It is true, as well, that the Irish will have a rough schedule to deal with all season long.

But what’s with all of the Notre Dame bashing? I think in this case it is undeserved. The Irish definitely have a difficult season ahead of them, but the fact that they have a tough schedule shouldn’t be a reason that they aren’t hot. That should be a reason for why they are a good team to watch this year- even despite the fact that they are missing key players on offense and defense.
