Clemson moved up two spots in the final Coaches Poll.

The Tigers are No. 11 after making a return to the College Football Playoff for a first trip to the expanded CFP's first round, a loss at 5-seed Texas.

That is tied with ACC regular-season leader SMU.

Clemson was No. 14 in the final AP Top 25.

The Tigers finished No. 20 in the final Coaches Poll last year.
