Movement around Notre Dame, but the Irish remain stagnant in updated ESPN power rankings

With the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team off this past weekend, there wasn’t any extra data to dive into.

For that exact reason, the Irish stayed in the same spot as they had last week in ESPN’s Football Power Index after a wild Week 6 in college football. There was plenty of movement around Notre Dame, as Alabama, Tennessee, and Penn State moved down, while Ohio State, Ole Miss and Oregon moved up.

As for the advanced stats for the Irish, moved up slightly in the race to make the College Football Playoff, going from 46.1% last week to 48.4% this week. The changes the PFI gives Notre Dame to win out dropped, from 30.5% to 26.6%, which no longer is the best percentage in the nation, the Buckeyes now hold that title.

The championship odds are still low, with just a 5.6% chance to make the CFP title game and just a 2.4% chance to win.
