Wisconsin was a curious selection at number three in the Coaches Poll, to say the least. The new Assocated Press Top 25, however, has a more reasonable selection for the third spot behind Alabama and Georgia: Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish climbed two spots after handling Wake Forest in Week 10. Over the past few weeks, Notre Dame has played as well as any team in the country and is stacking up an impressive resume for the College Football Playoff Selection Committee to examine. There’s no rest for Notre Dame, however, as it must travel to No. 7 Miami (FL) for a huge game with playoff implications. Two new teams, Washington and Auburn, entered the top 10 while Ohio State and Penn State fell to No. 11 and No. 16, respectively, following upset losses. Here’s the entire updated AP Top 10:
1. Alabama (56)
2. Georgia (5)
3. Clemson
4. Oklahoma
5. Wisconsin
6. Miami (FL)
7. TCU
8. Washington
9. Auburn
10. Ohio State
