Clemson continued to add to its point total as the No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25.
The Tigers (1,544 points; 56 first-place votes) lead Alabama (1,489; 6 first-place votes), Georgia (1,385) and LSU (1,336) and Oklahoma (1,315). Clemson is one of only three teams nationally with a pair of wins over Power 5 conference teams already (UNC and Hawaii the others). The 24-10 win over former No. 12 Texas A&M was one of the top victories on the weekend, along with LSU’s 45-38 win at former No. 9 Texas. Clemson is joined by Virginia from the ACC, which debuted at No. 25. Today's AP Poll marks the 62nd consecutive poll in which Clemson has appeared in the Top 10, moving into the Top 10 (and a tie for ninth) for the longest such streak in AP Poll history.
