Bill Connelly's ND preview
Figured it would be good to read some opposition research.
Connelly thinks they could have their best defense since the Manti T'eo days and favors them in every game this season (including against us). Predicts a 10-2 record, and gives them a 62% chance of beating us.
Curious if anyone who follows them more closely than I do would care to comment? Based on what I know, this seems a little too bullish on the Irish. But then again, I don't follow them all that closely. But their defense sure didn't look great in the spring game.

I used the projected win percentages from
http://www.espn.com/college-football/team/fpi/_/id/87/notre-dame-fighti…
then used poisson binomial distribution to get...
Yea...highest probability is 10 wins for them
Considering it is 5/201/18 and the season is months away AND we have no frickin clue who is going to leat Michigan, I'd say it's a toss up as to who will win.
All I can pray and hope for is Michigan goes into South Bend and humiliates Notre Dame like we haven't seen since 2007
