Tigers’ AP Poll ranking drought ends after nearly two months |
Clemson made a long-awaited return to the Associated Press top-25 on Sunday.
The Tigers hadn’t garnered enough votes for a top-25 spot since week five of the season but reentered at No. 22 on Sunday after the 30-0 win at South Carolina on Saturday. Clemson had a school-best streak of 107 consecutive top-25 AP Polls snapped in early October. The Coaches Poll ranked Clemson No. 24 on Sunday and the College Football Playoff had the Tigers at No. 23 last week. The penultimate Playoff ranking will be on Tuesday before the final committee poll next Sunday. The ACC's division winners are at No. 17 (Pittsburgh) and No. 18 (Wake Forest) in the new AP poll, with NC State one spot ahead of Clemson at No. 21.
