However, USA TODAY Sports did not maintain their top spot in the NCAA re-rank. Texas claimed the No. 1 position following their thrilling 24-23 home win against Ohio State on Saturday. The Fighting Irish dropped to No. 2, with Georgia, Indiana, and Miami rounding out the top five. Notre Dame's previous opponents, Wisconsin and Rice, currently hold the rankings of No. 65 and No. 114, respectively. The NCAA Re-Rank experienced significant changes due to an eventful weekend in college football, with Texas now occupying the top spot. Notre Dame (2-0) is set to host Michigan State on Saturday.",
