2. Notre Dame: Hard as it is to believe, the game's most prestigious program has produced just one first-round pick this decade, center Jeff Faine in '03, and hasn't had more than one first-rounder in a single year since '94. While the reasons are up for debate -- Poor coaching? Poor recruiting? Academic restraints? -- it's no secret the Irish aren't producing the same caliber of athlete they were a decade ago. Notre Dame faithful are hoping the arrival of former Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and his three Super Bowl rings will bring the same kind of credibility in recruiting as Carroll brought to USC.
