College football is now just 11 days away as the countdown is getting ever-so-near reaching single digits. The preseason AP Poll was released on Monday with Notre Dame checking in 13th overall.
We’ll ignore that the last time Notre Dame was ranked 13th by the AP to start a year they wound up winning the national championship.
Instead, we’ll focus on the top-10 of those rankings.
Did you know – over the last 21 years only once did at least one preseason top-10 team in the AP Poll not end up unranked.
2016 was the last time it happened to Notre Dame.
Last year Oklahoma, Baylor, and Texas A&M all fell victim.
Which of the preseason top-10 teams is it most likely to happen to in 2023?
