Notre Dame cracked the top 10 of The Associated Press college football poll for the first time this season, coming in at No. 9, and Michigan fell out of the rankings for the first time in two years.
A week after a rash of upsets gave the poll a shake-up, the first eight teams in the Top 25 released Sunday were unchanged. Alabama remains a unanimous No. 1 in the media poll. Penn State is No. 2 and Georgia is No. 3.
Undefeated TCU and Wisconsin round out the top five.
Notre Dame jumped four spots after beating Southern California 49-14 on Saturday night in South Bend, Indiana.
