Notre Dame moved up a spot in the Associated Press Top 25.
The Irish (3-0, 2-0 ACC) are ranked No. 4 in Sunday's AP poll after beating Florida State 42-26. They jumped up because Florida, previously ranked fourth, lost at Texas A&M earlier Saturday. They're behind Clemson, Alabama and Georgia and next play Louisville on Oct. 17.
North Carolina is behind Notre Dame at No. 5 as the third ACC team in the top five. The Tar Heels (3-0, 3-0 ACC) defeated Virginia Tech 56-45 on Saturday.
Five ACC teams are in the top 25. Miami dropped from No. 7 to 13 after losing at Clemson, 42-17. Virginia Tech fell from 19th to 23rd.
Here's this week's full poll, which does not have the defending national champion for the first time since 2011. LSU (1-2) lost at Missouri 45-41 and dropped out of the rankings.
