Link: First Look at the 2021 Notre Dame Football Schedule
ND should finish no worse than 10-2, which frankly should always be ND's basement even in "rebuilding" years, which 2021 is.

And ND hasn't lost at home in a really long time.
One, maybe two depending how things break. More like ND favored in all 3 than dogs in all three probably.

Spring practice is crucial for the Irish this year. Breaking in a new DC and QB. It will be tough if the virus causes an issue with the Spring.

Although who knows where they'll be by then.
Probably Saban retired and Dabo coaching Bama...
At least not directly. He has the chance to have stadiums and such named after him, and has already made Clemson a contemporary peer of Alabama (titles > 10 years ago don't factor into play here).
I can see him trying the NFL and then coming back home to Alabama, but there is little precedent for a jump from Clemson to Alabama directly, and little incentive besides old personal ties. Plus he'd be following probably the only active FBS coach with a stronger legacy in this generation of coaches. Players have a tough enough time following a legend. Coaches generally fare even worse here.
