Clemson gains first-place vote in new AP poll

---

Clemson is one of five ACC teams in the latest Associated Press Top 25 – three of the other four which the Tigers have beaten already.

Clemson remained No. 5 in the latest poll, trailing Georgia then Ohio State, Tennessee and Michigan. Dabo Swinney's Tigers did add a first-place vote this week, however, courtesy of the San Jose Mercury's Jon Wilner.

Wake Forest is tied for 10th with Southern Cal now. Syracuse fell only to No. 16 after the 27-21 Tigers win at Clemson.

UNC (21) and NC State (24) round out the conference reps.

Late November home opponent South Carolina made its debut at No. 25.
