Clemson loses first-place votes in Coaches Poll |
A week with close calls, but few major upsets kept the status quo for Clemson in the Coaches Poll, which came in at No. 2 again.
A couple coaches changed their mind on the Tigers being the nation's best, however, dropping from six first-place votes to four. Alabama leads the poll with 59 first-place votes after a 59-0 win at Vanderbilt this week. Clemson heads to No. 12 Virginia Tech this week, who moved up one spot.
