Notre Dame has finished ranked in seven straight seasons, but the Irish have yet to win a playoff game. As Marcus Freeman enters his third season in South Bend, the program has the schedule and the personnel to not only earn a CFP berth but also make a deep run.

However, you don't get better after losing the bookend of Joe Alt and Blake Fisher. All eyes will be on Alt's successor, young riser Charles Jagusah, who could be the next great tackle in South Bend.Riley Leonard looked healthy and ready to compete at the Manning Passing Academy.
