The run included a nine point loss to third ranked Notre Dame and a loss to seventeenth ranked Georgia Tech. The Tigers went 4–3 in their next seven games, defeating Miami, Syracuse, SMU, and getting revenge on now nineteenth ranked Georgia Tech. They lost to Boston College, tenth-ranked Duke, and thirteenth-ranked North Carolina, by just two points.
