The Fighting Irish have been ranked as high as #9 in the preseason polls for the fall of 2011 season. Other polls have Notre Dame between #10 and #20. The Irish are returning 19 starters from the 2010 season and will play a tough schedule that ends with a game against Stanford which will also be ranked very highly when the first official preseason polls are released. This final game will undoubtably have a major effect on what bowl game in which the Irish will play.
