Notre Dame is just outside the top 10 in USA TODAY preseason Coaches Poll

The Irish are among the top teams in the country as the season is set to begin

Another preseason USA TODAY Coaches Top 25 Poll, another year where [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] is ranked near the top of the list.

As the season rapidly approaches, many are wondering just how good the Irish will be this season. The coaches ranked Notre Dame as the No.13 team in the country, a few spots behind three of their opponents they are set to face off against during the year.

Those three are Ohio State at No. 4, USC at No. 6 and Clemson at No. 9. Clearly those rankings won’t quite be the same when the Irish take on those teams, but it still give you an idea of how strong the schedule is this year.

The Irish open their season in Dublin, Ireland as they take on Army on August 26th.
