Irish move up in polls Following a chaotic weekend in college football, Notre Dame moved up in both the AP and USA Today coaches’ polls. The Irish ad- vanced from No. 9 to No. 6 in the AP poll and from No. 8 to No. 5 in the coaches’ poll. Notre Dame’s ascension in the rankings came after losses by No. 2 Oregon, No. 3 Alabama, No. 4 Oklahoma, No. 6 Texas A&M and No. 8 UCLA over the past week. Kelly said the losses by top- ranked teams illustrate the im- portance of focusing on one game at a time. “It’s obviously great copy for me on Monday when I talk to the team again about winning and just how important it is to just stay in the moment, work on your prepara- tion and enjoy every win as they come because they’re so difficult,” he said. “Great opportunity for me to continue on that message that we’ve been on all year about how difficult it is to win and how im- portant it is for us to keep moving in the right direction.” Kelly said although Notre Dame is just outside the top four, the Irish have not given much thought to a potential berth in the inaugu- ral College Football Playoff. “I think that it’s pretty typical around here that there’s noise regardless of playoffs or no play- offs,” Kelly said. “… I think it’s just Notre Dame football. The guys are pretty used to it. It’s always something just going on. “They do a great job of just fo- cusing in on it. We’ll continue to avoid the noise, but it’s a day in the life of Notre Dame football around here.”
