The Notre Dame Fighting Irish made a huge jump in the AP Top 25 college football rankings this week with a #13 spot on the board. The Coaches Poll has Notre Dame at #15.
Notre Dame is the highest-ranked 3-loss team in the poll and sets up a huge showdown in Los Angles this week against the #5 USC Trojans for the Jeweled Shillelagh — and so much more.
The college football playoff rankings won’t come out until Tuesday night — and NO — the Irish will not be anywhere near the top 4.
