Clemson continued its ascent up the rankings with a Top 10 spot in the Coaches Poll this week.

The Tigers moved up two spots to No. 9 with a 49-14 destruction of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in Winston-Salem.

Two Top 10 teams lost with previous No. 2 Ohio State upset by No. 3 Oregon, 32-31, at Autzen Stadium, and No. 8 Ole Miss upset at No. 10 LSU, 29-26.

Miami paces the ACC at No. 6, also joined by No. 20 Pitt and No. 23 SMU.

Texas remains No. 1 with a stranglehold on the spot with 53 of the 55 first-place votes ahead of hosting No. 4 Georgia next week. Oregon moved to No. 2, followed by Penn State, and Ohio State rounds out the Top 5.
