The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are undefeated, of course. Some would say they're not getting enough love in the national rankings. Head coach Brian Kelly seems prepared to lobby far and wide to get them the respect his team deserves. In fact, he may be taking his campaign all the way to the top! Yep, the Big O.

Chris Vannini on CoachingSearch.com transcribed a quote from Kelly’s recent appearance on SiriusXM College Sports Nation.
