Coach’s Poll Out

The Preseason USA Today Coach’s Top 25 Poll was released on the third of this month, so you can check out which NCAA football teams are expected to be the best this season. As you might have guessed, the USC Trojans made the top of this respected poll, as well as several other polls this preseason. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will play the Trojans this upcoming season, as well as several other teams on the list, including Penn State, UCLA and Michigan.

If you are a fan of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, you might be a little disappointed. The Irish did not end up making the top 25, though they did receive mention as getting 91 votes, and likely would have been included in a list of the top 30 or 35 teams in the nation. Of course, the Irish have their share of question marks this season, including the current quarterback situation; however, questions can be answered emphatically, and the Irish believe that by the end of the season a ranking in the top 10 isn’t too far out of the range of possibilities.
