Notre Dame Featured On Sports Illustrated Regional College Football Preview Cover

When the preseason Coaches' Poll came out last week, Notre Dame found itself ranked No. 11, sitting just outside of the top ten teams in the country. Well, according to one prominent publication, they're a bit better than they're ranking. Sports Illustrated, which gave the Fighting Irish one of its regional covers this week, believes that the school will be one of the four in this year's College Football Playoff. The others? Ohio State, TCU and Auburn.
