On Sunday afternoon, we saw the new set of college football rankings, and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish came in at #18 in the Coaches Poll and #15 in the AP Top 25.
It takes just one glance at both polls side by side to see the major difference for Notre Dame in the polls as the coaches have the Duke Blue Devils and USC Trojans ranked ahead of Notre Dame, and the AP does the opposite. Meanwhile... both sets of rankings have Notre Dame ranked back ahead of the Louisville Cardinals (which throws the coaches poll argument of better record in the trash).
