The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have moved up in the AP Top 25 poll after beating the Virginia Cavaliers 35-14 on Saturday.
That’s the highest the Irish have been since being No. 5 earlier this season.
Moving up two spots in the poll should help the Irish make a stronger case for the College Football Playoff.
The top five remain the same: Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, Penn State and Indiana.
With the Irish at No. 6, the rest of the top 10 shakes out as follows: Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss and Tennessee.
Georgia moved up three spots after being Tennessee and the Volunteers fell four spots after the loss.
Other big movers included BYU, South Carolina, Tulane, and Washington State. BYU dropped seven spots after falling to Kansas, while South Carolina gained four sports after beating Missouri. Tulane gained five spots after shutting out Navy 35-0, and Washington State fell six spots after losing to New Mexico 38-35.
