NDIrish - I expect to see ND in everyone's preseason top 10 list for 2016, especially if Will Fuller and Jaylon Smith decide to return.  As a Stanford fan, I would be fine if they decide to move on.  Even without them, the talent is there along the OL, DL and skill positions to again contend nationally.  I thought their OL and defensive front 7 were the toughest Stanford faced all year.

Stanford loses a number of starters on both sides of the ball.  By my count, 10 of the 22 starters plus Remound Wright who has 15 TDs this year (to lead the team).  Most notably Stanford will be breaking in a new QB for the first time since 2012.  And all of its top defensive performers this year will be moving on.
