Clemson rises up AP Top 25

---

Clemson jumped up two spots in this week's AP Poll.

After Saturday's 24-14 win at Virginia Tech, Dabo Swinney's Tigers rose to No. 17 overall.

Around Clemson, previous No. 14 LSU was thumped at home by No. 11 Alabama and No. 17 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.

The Tigers checked in at No. 16 in Sunday's Coaches Poll, moving up one place.
