Notre Dame won a pair of games this past week but still isn’t receiving any votes in the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll. However, it’s becoming less of Duke and Duke only in the ACC. Duke remains the only ranked team in this week’s poll but three others from the ACC picked up receiving votes which might not seem like much but for where this conference has been this year it’s notable.
