Notre Dame Rises to No. 5, Miami Falls to No. 7

Notre Dame’s 31-24 win over previously top-ranked Miami lifted the Fighting Irish from No. 11 to No. 5 in the College Football Playoff rankings. Georgia moved to No. 1, Indiana fell from No. 4 to No. 9, and Miami dropped to No. 7. Miami remains in playoff contention: it controls its path to the ACC championship game, whose winner earns an automatic berth, and could still receive an at-large spot if it avoids another regular-season loss. The Hurricanes’ remaining games are against Duke, SMU and Syracuse; under the current rankings, they would host BYU in the first round. The game ended with an incomplete ruling on a potential tying touchdown pass.
