Notre Dame Football: Irish creep up the rankings after another cheeseburger week

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish should be well rested this week after its second bye week over the last 4 weeks. There’s still a taste of bitter disappointment in our mouths after the loss to the Clemson Tigers, but that didn’t seem to affect the pollsters this week.

The Irish climbed two spots in the AP Top 25 to #20 and for spots in the Coaches Poll to #18.

The only Notre Dame opponents that are currently ranked are both inside the top 10 — but are also both Notre Dame losses.
