## Resource

ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit stunned the college football world by picking Notre Dame as his national championship favorite for the upcoming season, despite early losses last year that kept them out of the playoff picture. With a loaded roster, a revamped but promising offense led by rising QB CJ Carr, and a stingy defense that allowed under 20 points in nine of its final games, the Fighting Irish are primed for a breakout campaign. Herbstreit also flagged Miami and Texas A&M as potential threats, but Notre Dame’s depth, experience, and momentum have them squarely in the title conversation — and the hype is already building.
