Where does Notre Dame football land in the early 2021 rankings

Notre Dame football is bringing back talent in 2021
The Irish do have a tough schedule in 2021, as they will have to face elite quarterbacks in back-to-back weeks in Sam Howell and Kedon Slovis. With so much talent leaving, players are going to have to step up that were not counted on in 2020, which brings a ton of question marks heading into next season.
However, it is not like the Notre Dame football program is void of talent, as they return big-time players on both sides of the ball, including offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson, and safety Kyle Hamilton. Hamilton was an All-American this past season and maybe the best safety in college football in 2021, while Patterson will likely replace Liam Eichenberg as the left tackle.

Honestly, it is way too early to be discussing the 2021 college football season, as teams are going to look a lot different this fall than they do right now. One thing has been a constant in college football recently when it comes to the Irish, and that is that they will put a good product on the field each season, and in 2021, despite the question marks, that should be the case once again.
