Pro Football Focus ranks Notre Dame higher than either major poll

A little bit of respect for the Irish from PFF

The US LBM Coaches Poll and the AP Poll’s were released on Tuesday with Notre Dame not making much of a move north after defeating Texas A&M.

It was a different story at Pro Football Focus, its power rankings following Week 1 they have the Irish at No. 3. Max Chadwick and Dalton Wasserman compiled the list, and they watched Notre Dame hold their top 2025 quarterback prospect, Conner Weigman, to a career-low 28.0 PFF passing grade.

While the other polls had Notre Dame ranked high, there weren’t many other teams across the country that had a better Week 1 win than the Irish.

While I don’t always agree with PFF’s power rankings, I surely do with these. Hopefully the coaches and AP polls will catch up in the near future.
