Notre Dame has had what could only be regarded as a crazy 2022 season.
They played unbeaten Ohio State as closely as anyone has all year long to start the year and then fell at home to Marshall.
They bounced back with wins over Cal, North Carolina, and BYU only to lose at home to lowly Stanford.
The Irish then went on the road a week ago to beat previously ranked Syracuse before
dismantling undefeated Clemson in Week 10. With that dominating win,
ESPN has the Irish included in their top 25 power rankings following the Week 10 slate of college football.
Kentucky (6-3) Kansas State (6-3) Washington (7-2) Notre Dame (6-3)
Illinois (7-2) UCF (7-2) Texas (6-3) Liberty (8-1)
NC State (7-2) Tulane (8-1) Penn State (7-2) North Carolina (8-1
Clemson (8-1)
