The newest edition of the poll released on Sunday put the Fighting Irish up in the Top 10 after a win over USC, as Notre Dame solidly jumped Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Washington. This is now setting up for a matchup with No. 14 N.C. State next week.
Outside of that, there wasn't a lot of movement near the top of this week's poll thanks to a combination of several teams on BYE weeks, as well as nearly zero upsets near the top. The full poll can be seen below.
