Associated Press Poll
UVa falls 4 spots in this week’s AP Poll from No. 14 to No. 18, but staying just ahead of fellow ACC teams, FSU (No. 19) and Notre Dame (No. 21). The Packline Brothers to the North, Wisconsin, also took a deep dive after dropping a road game to Michigan, but rebounding with a throttling of Maryland; the pollsters still dropped the Badgers from No. 11 to No. 16. Louisville leads the ACC at No. 7, getting a 1 spot boost after two 4 point wins over Syracuse and Virginia Tech last week.

USA Today Coaches’ Poll
Virginia took a similar fall in the Coaches’ Poll dropping from No. 15 to No. 19. The rest of the poll is similar to the AP poll, with UVa coming in one spot ahead of FSU (No. 20), but Notre Dame took a giant leap from No. 20 to No. 17. Beating those pesky BC Eagles really impressed the SIDs that fill out the Coaches’ Poll.
