Matthew Emmons-US PRESSWIRE
The Fighting Irish moved up a spot in this week's Coaches poll after a huge road win.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are at No. 4 in Week 10's USA Today Coaches Poll Top 25. Notre Dame rose one spot after they were able to stay undefeated on the road at Oklahoma. Alabama and Oregon remained in the top-two spots. K-State at No. 3 and LSU at No. 5 round out the top five.
Both Kansas State and Notre Dame benefited from Florida's 17-9 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs, as the Gators fell all the way to No. 8 after being ranked third last week. The Bulldogs moved from 11th to sixth after the big home win. The Florida St. Seminoles climbed to No. 7 while the Clemson Tigers (No. 9) and Louisville Cardinals (No. 10) polished off the top 10.
Three previous unranked teams, Louisiana Tech, Nebraska Cornhuskers and Oklahoma St. Cowboys, moved into the top 25, while Ohio Bobcats, Wisconsin Badgers and Michigan Wolverines all dropped out of the top 25.
