I'm ok with ND at 8.

For Notre Dame its all about the underclassman coming back. If everyone comes back besides C. Wood then ND to me should be top 5th. If they lose everyone that could realistically leave (as mentioned in the article) then to me they should be about 10th.

Anyone else like that we play Air Force and Navy back to back?

Ohio State is going to lose on 9/28/13 to a Bob Diaco coached Wisconsin team.

Just kidding, just kidding, please don't hurt me.

I think this dramatically underestimates player development. Are you telling me that our secondary with all the youth and inexperience that has been just short of phenomenal is not going to only get better? Offense now has an experienced playmaker behind center and feels like the cork could pop any minute and start putting up huge numbers....

Trying to be impartial, let's say the defense is 3-5 point worse next year primarily b/c Manti is gone. I can easily expect the offense to be 7 points better almost exclusively from Golson being seasoned. Losing Eifert is big but everyone else developing, being a year older and closer to their potential more than makes up for it IMO.

The chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and ours is getting impressively stronger next year. Pretty much everyone here thought 2014 was the year to make a run at it and now we are acting like we are taking a huge step backward?

I wouldn't be surprised if Alvarez pulls a Snyder and does come back full time. He denies it now, but if somehow they win that Rose Bowl...

I don't think he'll leave either, but some people think very highly of him apparently...

If Z Martin and Watt stay next year's O-line will be one of the best in America.
