There is also a new No. 1 team, as Alabama defeated previous No. 2 Georgia to take over the top spot with the Bulldogs falling to No. 5. The Crimson Tide dominated the first place votes as well, as 40 writers have them as the best team in the country, with Texas getting 19, and Ohio State having four.

Riley Leonard threw two touchdown passes and ran for another, and No. 16 Notre Dame capitalized on No. 15 Louisville’s first three turnovers of the season to hold on for a 31-24 victory Saturday.

No. 16 Notre Dame has two wins over Power 4 schools this season and can add another to its resume Saturday when it hosts No. 15 Louisville.
