All right, Brian, in the last part of today's show here in the Irish Breakdown podcast brought to you by our friends over at Van Duel.

We're talking about if the hype around Notre Dame is well deserved.

We just got done wrapping up our way too early top 25s.

You had Notre Dame at two.

We had Notre Dame at one.

Every major outlet, every major talking head has had Notre Dame

within their top 10. So let's kind of talk about the Fighting Irish here for a little bit and talk

about is their spot where they are, where we have them ranked, is it deserved? What do they have

to show? Very fascinating conversation here, Brian. Yeah, it is. And you saw a lot of variants, Trev.

You put an article together. I think you put it up, what, Saturday or Sunday, or is it Monday?

You put an article up where you went through. And here's where they had Notre Dame.

Starting at the bottom, you had Yahoo Sports had them ninth. I think that's way too low.

The athletic had them seven. I think that's way too low. The Athletic had them seven.

I think that's too low as well. PFF also had them seven. CABS sports had them five. As long as you have in the top five, I'm not going to argue with you. I'm just not. You say, well, I'm in the playoffs that year. Yeah, but you all know they should have, and you all know that by the end of the year,

they were in the five best teams coach football.

Joel Clat had him fifth. Well, it meant to playoffs last year. Yeah, but you all know they should have, and you all know that by the end of the year, they were in the five best teams coach football.

Joel Clatt had him fifth until that's not popular anymore,

and then he'll have him 12th because that's what Joel Clatt does.

It's like he'll go with the popular thing.

Sporting News had him five, on three had him four,

ESPN had him three, and then Sports Illustrated had him two.

So there's a lot more people that view them as a top five team than anybody else.
