I noticed while driving home from work that when I am going above 70 and floor the gas my car downshifts (its an auto) into 3rd. Why?

That's the kick down switch yeah or passing gear like Bimmerphile said
if you floor the pedal the engine will rev up till the redline
if you want pass a car with a speed of 60 in 5th with a manual you will also downshift that's the same story
