Clemson ranked No. 5 in updated AP Poll |
Clemson stayed at No. 5 in this week's Associated Press top-25.
The top of the poll did see a change from analyzing the first two full weeks of the campaign, with Georgia (53 first-place votes) vaulting Alabama (9) at No. 1. Ohio State (1) and Michigan round out the top-4. Alabama had 44 first-place votes previously. In their previous top-10, then No. 6 Texas A&M fell at home to Appalachian State, No. 8 Notre Dame lost to Marshall at home and No. 9 Baylor was defeated in overtime at BYU. More top-25 teams to fall included Florida (previously No. 12), Pitt (No. 17), Wisconsin (No. 19), and Houston (No. 25). Leading to those lost votes, Alabama was taken to the wire after being a three-touchdown favorite at Texas, winning on a last-minute drive. The Longhorns went from unranked to No. 21 after the performance. Other ranked ACC teams are Miami (13), NC State (16), Wake Forest (19) and Pitt (23). The Coaches Poll has kept Clemson at No. 4 from the preseason through two full weeks of play. In ESPN's advanced-metric measures, the Tigers are ranked No. 4 with the Football Power Index and No. 7 with the SP+ ($). AP Poll - 9/11/22 1. Georgia (53) 2. Alabama (9) 3. Ohio State (1) 4.
