Clemson's standing in AP Top 25 voting after regular season |
Clemson was left out of the final Associated Press Top 25 for the regular season on Sunday.
The Tigers, which moved into the College Football Playoff committee's Top 25 (24) last week, closed with two wins over ranked opponents at the time in Notre Dame and North Carolina, and Clemson completed a 4-0 month to 8-4 on the season with a 16-7 rivalry road victory at South Carolina on Saturday. Clemson was 31st in AP voting points last week, and that vote total increased to the 27th-most this week but still quite a few from making the Top 25 tier. The Tigers haven't been in the AP Poll since week two. Clemson was also 27th in voting points for the Coaches Poll on Sunday. The Tigers await their last shot to make that Top 25 tier for the traditional polls in the bowl season, which is a destination to be announced on December 3. AP Top 25 1. Georgia (52 1st votes) 2.
