No. 9 Tennessee | No. 11 Ole Miss | Top 25No. 10: Notre DameLast Season: 10-3?Even though the Irish were ravaged by injury in 2015 -- the team lost starting QB Malik Zaire, its top two rushers, its TE, its nose tackle and its top two safeties early in the season -- they still closed the season a field goal away from a potential playoff berth. This year, though they return only eight starters, they get back Zaire, NT Jarron Jones and safeties Drue Tranquill and Avery Sebastian, along with 2014 leading rusher Tarean Folston, who has a career 5.2 ypc. So they are more experienced than the numbers indicate. Even more, their schedule features just three true road games.IN IF... The defense is better, starting up front (just 25 sacks in 2015, T74 in the FBS). Almost every marquee opponent will have a first-year starter at QB, so the Irish could run the table if the unit steps up.OUT IF... It has a loss. With only 12 games (no conference title game), it will need several quality wins to sway the committee.Notre Dames chances to win each game 09.04 @ Texas: 45.9% 09.10 vs. Nevada: 94.4% 09.11 vs. Michigan State: 67.0% 09.24 vs. Duke: 83.9% 10.01 vs. Syracuse ( MetLife Stadium):?80.2% 10.08 @ NC State: 62.9% 10.15 vs. Stanford: 66.8% 10.29 vs. Miami: 72.6% 11.05 vs. Navy (EverBank Field): 87.2% 11.12 vs. Army (Alamodome): 94.3% 11.19 vs. Virginia Tech: 78.5% 11.26 @ USC: 27.3%Sure, the quarterback competition is front and center, but the Irish lost their leading rusher, four of their top five leading receivers and their top three tackler (not to mention their leader in sacks). There are plenty of holes to fill, but this team should go 9-3 again. ?-- Andrea AdelsonIf the Irish didnt finish as a top-10 team with all that NFL talent last year, how are they supposed to this year? Oh, thats right -- the schedule. But a relatively manageable slate wont mask defensive deficiencies that overshadow strong QB play -- probably from two guys -- and result in a 9-3 season. -- Matt FortunaThe Irish have two potentially elite quarterbacks, but there are big questions everywhere else, particularly on defense. The schedule is manageable though (nine games at home or on neutral field), so even if Notre Dame struggles, a 9-3 season is probably a safe bet. -- David HaleIts easy to find 10 wins on the schedule, but will a quarterback controversy split the team? A retooling at receiver and on defense will cost the 9-3 Irish a game they should win. -- Jared ShankerNo. 9 Tennessee | No. 11 Ole Miss | Top 25 Chad Thomas Jersey . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October.

Five-star point guard?Quade Green?has committed to Kentucky.Green chose the Wildcats over Syracuse, although Villanova, Temple and Duke were also on his final list of five schools.Syracuse appeared to be the prohibitive favorite for Green for most of the fall, taking the lead from Duke in late August. The Orange hosted Green on at least four visits since the summer, but Green was impressed with Kentucky when he visited Lexington for Big Blue Madness. The Wildcats offered Green in June and remained heavily involved in his recruitment.Green, a Neumann-Goretti High School (Pennsylvania) product, is ranked No. 22 in the ESPN 100 for 2017. The No. 3 point guard in the class, Green pushed into five-star status after an impressive spring and summer with the PSA Cardinals on the Nike EYBL circuit. He averaged 14.9 points, 9.8 assists and 3.2 steals, leading the competition in the latter two categories. At 6-foot-1, Green is at his best when attacking the basket, utilizing change of speed and crafty dribbling ability to beat his man and get into the lane. He has excellent passing vision and has improved his offensive arsenal, including his 3-point shoooting, floater and midrange game.ddddddddddddKentucky badly needed guards in the 2017 class, with freshmen DeAaron Fox and Malik Monk and sophomore Isaiah Briscoe all potentially leaving for the NBA draft next spring. There are zero scholarship guards on the roster expected to return to Lexington next season. The Wildcats landed four-star point guard?Shai Gilgeous-Alexander?(No. 44) in the middle of the early signing period, but the two incoming point guards are capable of playing together.Green and Gilgeous-Alexander join a recruiting class that was ranked in the top five entering the week. John Calipari and Kentucky had zero 2017 commits prior to the early signing period, but five-star frontcourt prospects?Nick Richards?(No. 12) and?P.J. Washington?(No. 16) committed on the same day in mid-November.Calipari remains involved with five-star forwards Kevin Knox (No. 7), Mohamed Bamba (No. 4) and Jarred Vanderbilt (No. 23), and he could also look at wing prospects moving forward, primarily Hamidou Diallo (No. 13).
