The first pre-season poll came out today and is good news for the Irish and the other teams in the Big East. The Irish are ranked 9th in the new ESPN/USA Today Preseason poll, the highest pre-season coaches poll ranking ever for Notre Dame. The last two seasons Notre Dame was not recognized in preseason polls even though both seasons resulted in at-large NCAA bids. This year however, is different. With pretty much everyone returning the Irish are now a team to be reckoned with.
