Notre Dame football moves up in latest US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 3
Notre Dame football has started the season 4-0 and that good start has impressed enough for them to move up in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll.
The Irish took care of Central Michigan fairly easily, defeating the visitors 41-17 behind three touchdowns from quarterback Sam Hartman and running back Audric Estime rushing for a career high 176 yards and a score.
There weren’t too many upsets to shake up the rankings this weekend. Unranked Florida defeated then-No. 11 Tennessee, and Missouri knocked off then-No. 15 Kansas State on a last-second field goal.
Plenty of teams struggled to defeat lesser opponents which led to some movement in the rankings. Find out below where the Irish and the rest of the teams ranked in the latest coaches poll.
