Notre Dame rose to No. 3 in the Week 11 Coaches Poll following a 31-24 victory over previously top-ranked Miami on Saturday night. Quarterback C.J. Carr threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns as the Fighting Irish avenged last season's loss to the Hurricanes in a nationally televised matchup.
Georgia returned to No. 1 after a 35-point win over then-No. 12 Ole Miss. Gunner Stockon threw four touchdown passes, and the Bulldogs held Rebels quarterback Trinidad Chambliss out of the end zone for the first time this season.
Miami slid five spots to No. 6 after suffering its first loss of the season. Only Utah and UCLA remain unbeaten, marking the fewest undefeated FBS teams through November 8 since 2003. The Hurricanes' defeat extended a streak to five consecutive weeks in which a top-two team lost, tying the longest such streak in poll history.
Notre Dame's win was its 12th straight in November, the second-longest active streak behind Oregon's 13. Oregon re-entered the poll at No. 19 after a 41-28 upset of Ohio State, which dropped out of the top 10 to No. 20. Buckeyes coach Ryan Day is now 6-5 in his last 11 games.
Kentucky fell from No. 7 to No. 13 after a 28-point loss to Tennessee, while the Volunteers climbed seven places to No. 9 with their second ranked win of the season. South Carolina entered the rankings at No. 24 after a fourth consecutive victory and will face Georgia on November 21 in a game with significant College Football Playoff implications.
The updated top 10: 1. Georgia (8-1), 2. Utah (9-0), 3. Notre Dame (8-1), 4. UCLA (9-0), 5. Indiana (8-1), 6. Miami (8-1), 7. Alabama (7-2), 8. Texas (7-2), 9. Tennessee (7-2), 10. Texas Tech (8-1). Other notable entries include Oregon at No. 19, Ohio State at No. 20, and South Carolina at No. 24.
