The only thing worse than getting fired on your day off might be getting surpassed by another team on your bye week while they were also on their bye week. That is what happened to Notre Dame as the Irish slid two spots to #10, leaving BYU at #9 in the latest AP poll. Part of the demotion could come at the Irish’s own doing as Notre Dame sank #24 Navy during week nine, 51-14. That loss resulted in the Midshipmen losing its top 25 ranking, and to make matters worse, Navy was subsequently shipwrecked at Rice during week ten, 24-10.
