Notre Dame is on bye in Week 9 after picking up its fifth win vs. USC last week. Here's a look at the Irish's full schedule, including who is next up.

The Irish (6-2) moved up two spots from No. 12 to No. 10 after a surprisingly difficult win over Boston College while the Hoosiers (9-0) stayed at No. 2 after dominating Maryland. IU received 11 first-place votes in this week’s poll.

Notre Dame didn't have its best showing Saturday at Boston College, but it got all sorts of help regarding the CFP.

BOSTON — Jeremiyah Love broke free through the middle, and finally No. 12 Notre Dame could see some daylight. Love’s 94-yard touchdown run on the first play after an interception squelched a potential game-tying drive helped the Fighting Irish win 25-10 on Saturday against a surprisingly stout, one-win Boston College team.

The Big Ten battle of the week sees Penn State (3-4) attempt to stop the runaway train that is Ohio State (7-0) on Saturday.
