Florida State dropped out of the rankings after an embarrassing loss to Virginia Tech on Monday. Future Notre Dame opponents Virginia Tech, Stanford, Southern Cal, and Stanford all moved up in rankings as well. Michigan fell from the top 15 back into the low twenties in both polls following the loss to ND.
Notre Dame’s next game against a ranked team is against Stanford on September 29th. The Irish next take the field against the Ball State Cardinals on September 8th.
