Notre Dame loses first place votes in US LBM Coaches Poll post-BC
Notre Dame football lost some ground in the US LBM Coaches Poll after blowing out Boston College during Week 11.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish suffered a setback in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll following their 41-7 victory over Boston College. The Irish had been ranked third prior to the game, but with Georgia and Utah both securing wins, they were unable to climb higher in the rankings. Notre Dame experienced a drop from having two first-place votes to just one, as the Bulldogs and Utes each claimed a first-place vote from them.
While there was little change in the top-10 rankings, the emergence of a new SEC competitor poses a challenge for an at-large bid. SMU, Notre Dame's next opponent, has since been removed from the rankings but continues to receive votes. Despite the loss of a ranked win, it appears unlikely that Notre Dame will ascend in the polls.
The most recent Coaches Poll is listed below, detailing each team's record and their ranking from the previous week, as well as whether they received any first-place votes.
