Florida’s loss is Notre Dame’s gain in latest Amway Coaches Poll

Notre Dame took care of business against Florida State, while Florida fell to Texas A&M which helped the Irish move up in the Coaches Poll.

Notre Dame’s return to the field was just as a few of us expected, they had to shake off some rust early on and didn’t beat an overmatched Florida State team as soundly as they should have. But a win is a win and the Irish continue to have a crooked number first and a big fat zero after the dash.

Advance and survive, that’s the name of the game. The Irish did just that, while watching Florida do the opposite. The Gators loss is Notre Dame gain, as they moved up one spot to No. 4.

Here’s where Wisconsin is in the latest USA TODAY Coaches Poll

The Badgers come in the middle of the pack in the latest Coaches Poll

As we wait for Big Ten football, the conference is back in the polls. Each Sunday the Amway Coaches Poll Powered by USA TODAY Sports is released. Although we do not have Big Ten games to judge, it’s important to see where teams stand heading into conference play in October.

The Wisconsin Badgers are in the middle of the pack, sitting at No. 14 overall. After a dominant performance at home against Auburn, the Georgia Bulldogs moved up to third in the polls alongside Florida.

Here is a look at the complete Amway Coaches Poll just three weeks before Big Ten football is set to resume.

No game, no change for Irish in newest Amway Coaches Poll

This week had no game on the schedule for the Irish, as they watched other teams around them fall from the ranks of the unbeaten. Auburn got dominated by Georgia, who this week actually looked like a top 4 team. Alabama was Alabama, once again handling another SEC ranked opponent in Texas A&M, while Texas, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh and Memphis were all upset.

The biggest loser this week was Texas, who continues to underperform while getting the benefit of the doubt by the polls. Last week they had a miraculous 4th quarter comeback, and this week living on the edge gave them their first loss to TCU. The Longhorns dropped to No. 22 after coming into the week ninth.

None of this really matter to Notre Dame, the teams what are ahead of them all won, although they didn’t all necessarily look great doing it. The Irish finally get back on the field next weekend to face Florida State, who’s sluggish start had them on upset watch for most of the 1st half. They would later pull away, winning their first game of the year.

Around the ACC, Clemson held steady atop the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports, Miami, FL moved up one spot, North Carolina up two, Virginia Tech up five while Pittsburgh dropped out entirely.

Auburn football: Tigers drop in latest Amway Coaches Poll

The Tigers dropped in the Amway Coaches Poll after getting dominated by Georgia.

Auburn was embarrassed on Saturday night in Athens as Georgia dominated every aspect of the game in a 27-6 victory that somehow wasn’t as close as the final score.

In the latest Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports, the Tigers paid the price by dropping to No. 13.

The Tigers could not get anything going on offense against the Bulldogs, putting up just 216 yards of total offense and failing to find the end zone.

BREAKING: Alabama remains No. 2 in latest Amway Coaches Poll

The Alabama Crimson Tide’s win over Missouri to start the season was not enough to move them above Clemson, but let them stay right behind.

Alabama’s season-opening win over the Missouri Tigers led to the Crimson Tide staying put at No. 2 in the latest Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA Today Sports.

While No.1 Clemson also held onto their spot, along with Alabama, there were plenty of shake ups inside the top 10 after a series of upsets, close games and runaways.

Here’s how the poll looks after Week 3 of the college football season and the opening weekend of SEC play:

  1. Clemson
  2. Alabama
  3. Florida
  4. UGA
  5. Notre Dame
  6. Ohio State
  7. Auburn
  8. Miami
  9. Texas
  10. Penn State
  11. North Carolina
  12. Central Florida
  13. Texas A&M
  14. Mississippi State
  15. Cincinnati
  16. Oklahoma
  17. Louisiana State
  18. Wisconsin
  19. Oklahoma State
  20. Tennessee
  21. Michigan
  22. Brigham Young
  23. Virginia Tech
  24. Memphis
  25. Pittsburgh

There are eight SEC programs inside the top 25, including three in the top four. The biggest fall within the SEC was LSU, dropping from No. 5 all the way to No. 17.
