After a hard-fought 23–13 win over Texas A&M Saturday evening, Notre Dame has made significant strides in the AP Poll.

Florida State, meanwhile, has taken a nosedive.

The Fighting Irish are No. 5 in the AP Poll released Tuesday, while the Seminoles dropped out of the Top 25 after losses to Georgia Tech and Boston College in back-to-back weeks.

Other teams rising multiple spots in the poll of sportswriters around the country include Missouri, Miami, USC, Kansas and Iowa. Multi-spot fallers include Oregon, LSU, Clemson and the now-unranked Aggies, while newcomers include Louisville and Georgia Tech.

Here's a rundown of the full AP Top 25, with a few historical notes on teams' rankings where applicable.
