Beep, beep, beep.
The noise you hear is not that of a dump truck at a nearby construction site, but rather that of 247Sports’ Brandon Marcello backing up his recent thoughts on Notre Dame football in 2024.
In case you missed it, Marcello released his summer rankings of the top 30 teams in college football on Wednesday and Notre Dame wasn’t on the list. He tried to justify it, but his reasons for Notre Dame’s absence could easily have applied to seemingly half the teams he ranked.
Marcello released a short video on Thursday discussing the Notre Dame issue in more detail. It’s posted below, but to paraphrase it for you, it pretty much says that Notre Dame could easily win 10 games (which would give them a great chance to be in the College Football Playoff) and that their preseason rankings will change (where it’ll have the chance to make up for leaving Notre Dame off this list).
As the world turns or as “the very early conversation about college football rankings changes”?
You be the judge as I will be busy counting down the days until the end of August.
