Notre Dame placed in ESPN’s way too early top 25 rankings

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The women’s college basketball season ended earlier this week, but the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have found their way to be optimistic about the future. The team had a strong performance in the NCAA Tournament by making the Elite 8. However, the roster is going to look a bit different in the 2026-27 season. Where do they rank when looking at the very early 2026-27 rankings? Let’s take a look at what one outlet believes.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish crack ESPN’s way-too-early top 25 for the 2026-27 season

ESPN’s Charlie Creme wrote a way-too-early top 25 rankings for the 2026-27 women’s college basketball season. The Fighting Irish found its way on the list, ranking 21st on the list. Below is what Creme wrote about Notre Dame:

“So much of this ranking is based on the talent of Hannah Hidalgo. She proved in the NCAA tournament just how far she can carry a team. However, so much of that team will also be gone. Niele Ivey has some work to do to get similar talent around her two-way star. Her incoming recruiting class is promising, however — and if Cassandre Prosper elects to return, the Irish roster will be in better shape than it was last offseason.”

Notre Dame finished 25-11 (12-6 ACC), but they were fifth in the conference for the previous season. If Prosper decides to forego the WNBA Draft and return for one final season with Notre Dame, having her and Hannah Hidalgo lead the backcourt would be difficult to match up against. The team would be a premier program for players to go to the NCAA Transfer Portal as well. It will be interesting to see who will be on the roster for the team, and where they will rank when the season tips off months from now.
