Notre Dame is No. 2 in this week’s US LBM Coaches and Associated Press polls.
That position was reflected in USA TODAY Sports’ NCAA Re-Rank, as they put the Fighting Irish in the second spot. Notre Dame moved from No. 3 to 2 after Week 6 came with upsets and tight victories.
Notre Dame is coming off an overwhelming 57-3 win over Stanford as it improved to 6-0 on the season.
Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports kept Georgia in the top spot in the re-rank after it won 20-17 over Alabama on the road. Myerberg said that Notre Dame and No. 3 Miami “don't have the résumés to challenge the Bulldogs” at the moment.
No. 8 BYU, the Irish’s opponent this weekend, dropped from No. 11 to 13 in this week’s re-rank.
Georgia retained its top position in the NCAA Re-Rank 1-138 after Week 6 of the college football season while Texas tumbled after its first loss. https://t.co/1Qz1VG82up
