This top 100 players rankings for 2022 season is done by Bill Connelly (the guy who is responsible for giving us the SP+ stat which is one-half of the F+ stat that is so widely beloved here at Under The Dome). Connelly uses some kind of vote-ranked-system (formula) which he explains in the article which is linked to at the bottom of the post.
ND had three players total in top 100:
#11 Michael Mayer
There is no disputing how good Mayer has been for the Irish. Just look on the program's website, which called him "The Best tight end in Notre Dame History." Mayer is exactly what you want in a tight end: a ferocious blocker who presents a huge matchup advantage for the Irish because he is an elite pass-catcher. Mayer led all FBS tight ends in touchdown receptions in 2022 with nine, leading his team with 67 receptions for 809 yards. He has caught at least one pass in all 36 games in which he has played.
#19 Joe Alt
Alt was Pro Football Focus' top-graded offensive tackle during the regular season, when he allowed just five pressures and no sacks. He was the veteran anchor on one of the nation's top O-lines, which allowed just 19 sacks all year.
#35 Isiah Foskey
Foskey was the best player on the Irish defense all season, earning Consensus All-America honors. He had 11 sacks (tied for fourth nationally), and broke the Notre Dame career sack record (26.5). In addition, Foskey led the Irish with 14 tackles for loss and six quarterback hurries. He played two of his best games against North Carolina (5 tackles, 1.5 sacks) and USC (5 tackles, 1.5 sacks).
