COLLEGE FOOTBALL REPORT : Weekday Update

Notre Dame regained the top spot in the Associated Press college football poll.

Georgia Tech’s 41-38 victory over top-ranked Virginia helped the Irish move from No. 2 to No. 1, a position they held for four weeks before losing to Stanford in early October. Notre Dame (7-1) fell to eighth after that loss.

Notre Dame, which beat Navy, 52-31, Saturday, received 37 first-place votes and 1,456 points from a nationwide panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. Washington (8-1) is second with 13 first-place votes and 1,403 points, and Houston (8-0), the only unbeaten, untied team in Division I-A, is third with five first-place votes and 1,337 points. Virginia dropped to 11th.
