Clemson moves up in Coaches Poll


Brandon Rink Brandon Rink - Assoc. Editor / Staff Writer -

Clemson moved up a spot in this week's Coaches Poll.

The Tigers up to No. 16.

In proximity to Clemson, previous No. 13 LSU was thumped at home by No. 11 Alabama and No. 18 Iowa State fell at Kansas.

With the other ACC ranked teams from last week, SMU and Louisville had open dates but both previous No. 4 Miami and No. 23 Pitt lost last week. The Tigers travel to Pitt next Saturday as a 10.5-point favorite (noon/ESPN).

Clemson was ranked No. 23 in last week's College Football Playoff committee ranking. The next edition of that ranking is on Tuesday.
