The top 10 groups in this week’s AP Top 25 ballot glance slightly bit other. Though maximum groups inside that window had been in a position to maintain trade, Utah dropped a highway sport in opposition to Oregon State and Notre Dame held off an disenchanted bid from Duke, permitting the Irish to leapfrog the Utes for the tenth spot.
Notre Dame entered Week 5 ranked No. 11 after a loss to Ohio State. The Irish were given all they may maintain from the Blue Devils, although working again Audric Estime sealed a come-from-behind win through speeding for a 30-yard landing with 31 seconds left at the clock. Notre Dame’s protection held the 21-14 lead, forcing a turnover to fully close the door.Â
Utah in any case were given beaten through a rash of accidents at the offensive aspect of the ball and scored simply seven issues in a 14-point loss to Oregon State. The Beavers benefitted big-time from the win, leaping 4 spots the entire manner as much as No. 15. The Utes landed at 18th.Â
That wasn’t the one notable motion in the Pac-12, although. After a blowout win in opposition to Stanford, Oregon moved previous undefeated USC for the No. 8 spot, making the Ducks the second-highest ranked Pac-12 group in the ballot.
