Clemson is only three points off from a top-4 spot in the AP Poll now.

Like with the Coaches Poll Sunday, Alabama moved to No. 1 over Georgia.

No. 5 Clemson captured its second top-25 win in as many weeks with a victory over a unanimous No. 10 NC State, 30-20, at home. Georgia struggled but rallied late at Mizzou, 26-22, while Alabama pulled away from Arkansas on the road, 49-26, No. 3 Ohio State rolled over Rutgers, 49-10 and No. 4 Michigan kept Iowa at bay on the road, 27-14.

Also in the ACC, Florida State dropped out (31-21 to Wake Forest) and Syracuse joined in the AP rankings at No. 22 this week.

NC State is No. 14 and Wake Forest is up to No. 15.
