Notre Dame hold onto No. 4 ranking

Tony Krausz | The Journal Gazette

Notre Dame held its spot at No. 4 in the Associated Press Top 25 and USA Today coaches poll Sunday after its resilient 29-26 triple-overtime victory over Pittsburgh (4-5) on Saturday.

The Irish rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to win on quarterback Everett Golson’s 1-yard sneak in the third overtime to improve to 9-0 for the first time since 1993.

Notre Dame is projected to slip in the BCS standings, which will be released tonight, by CBSsports.com analyst Jerry Palm.

Palm is projecting Notre Dame to go from No. 3 to No. 4 in the BCS standings with Oregon, which defeated USC 62-51 Saturday, moving into the No. 3 spot. Palm is also predicting Alabamato stay at No. 1 and Kansas State to hold onto the No. 2 spot.

Notre Dame will travel to play Boston College (2-7) this week with the game set to kickoff at 8 p.m. Saturday and broadcasted on ABC.
