The Notre Dame Fighting Irish haven’t moved in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, remaining in the No. 3 slot after beating North Carolina 37-26 on Saturday.
In fact, the entire top five remains the same.
Missouri jumped up 11 spots to No. 14 after blowing out Florida, with the Gators slipping eight spots to No. 16.
Other big movers included Iowa, which slipped six spots to No. 20 after losing to Ohio State, and Pitt, which moved back into the poll after beating Virginia Tech.
The top five remain Texas, Georgia, Notre Dame, Miami (FL) and Ohio State. The rest of the top 10 are Alabama, Indiana, BYU, Ole Miss and LSU.
