Notre Dame wins at Virginia Tech but has two teams pass them in AP Poll

Should the Irish have been passed by anyone following a win at Virginia Tech?

Notre Dame remained ranked 14th overall in the latest AP Poll after the Irish came back in a tough road environment to hand Virginia Tech their second loss of the season.  In moving to 5-1 Notre Dame didn’t fall in the polls, but passed both Arkansas and BYU who lost this weekend.

Notre Dame was however passed by a pair of SEC schools after they both picked up wins on Saturday.  Kentucky beat up on LSU and moved from 16 to 11 while Ole Miss stopped an Arkansas two-point conversion attempt on the game’s final play to move to 4-1 and to the No. 13 ranking after checking in at 17 last week.

It may be frustrating in the moment but Kentucky will have a test next week as they travel to No. 1 Georgia.

Just keep winning games if you’re Notre Dame and they’ll be moving up in no time.
