Three of 13th-ranked Notre Dame's opponents are ranked ahead of the Irish. ... On a side note, I'll be voting this season in the Super 16 poll, put out by the Football Writers Association of America and the National Football Foundation. I was an AP voter for more than three decades until I left the South Bend Tribune. ... I'll publish my ballot on the board every Sunday. I'm going to make a top 25 for our purposes, even though it's actually a 16-team ballot that gets submitted. So feel free to make fun of my ballots, submit your own or tell me how insightful I am. Chris Zorich is one of the other voters, and I would suggest NOT to make fun of his ballots. ... The preseason Super 16 poll comes out Aug. 15.
