Notre Dame #24

[OSU8085]

After all the rumors, innuendo and speculation, Charlie Weis did indeed return to South Bend for a fifth season at the helm of the Fighting Irish program. But don’t be naïve: One more substandard performance, and Weis is out, giant buyout or no giant buyout.

The obvious questions are, 1. What constitutes a “standard” performance at Notre Dame these days? and 2. Can Weis reach the level Irish fans demand? Neither answer is easy. Is it BCS bowl or bust? Probably. Can Weis get there? He just might be able to do it.

Yeah, I have to agree here. When I do a preseason ranking, I base it off what a team did the year before and how many starters they have coming back. Based on that, the Irish are not Top 25 material. They do have talent and an easy schedule this year, but they shouldn't start in the Top 25.

oops my bad on the title

The only reason they ranking them is because of the schedule
