Notre Dame, lest we forget, is providing a lot of proof so far.
You'll also note 1 loss Marshall flying up the rankings - it's due to beating Middle Tennessee, who beat Syracuse, who beat Clemson, and with only the one loss to NC State, there isn't much holding Marshall back otherwise (unlike Middle Tennessee or Syracuse who have much weightier losses despite the relationship to the Clemson victory).
