Clemson’s emphatic 66-20 win over Appalachian State in the home opener evened the Tigers' record and sent them up the latest rankings.

The updated Coaches Poll moved up Clemson two spots to No. 20.

Miami paces the ACC reps (12), with Clemson next and then Louisville (21) in the Top 25 tier. NC State dropped out after the 51-10 loss to Tennessee on Saturday in Charlotte.

The Tigers have next weekend off before starting ACC play at home with NC State on Sept. 21 (time to be announced).

Clemson moved up to as high as No. 14 with ESPN's metrics on Sunday.
