After Notre Dame dismantled New Mexico 66-14, the Irish remain at No. 7 in the AP and Amway Coaches polls.

There was actually no movement within the top 10 in the Coaches Poll, which means that Georgia and Michigan stayed at No. 3 and No. 10, respectively. However, Michigan did drop one spot in the AP poll to No. 11.
