Clemson ranked No. 3 in updated Coaches Poll |
| - Sunday, November 3, 2019, 1:40 PM |
A weekend filled with open dates for the top-5 meant not much shifting in the top-tier of the new Coaches Poll.
In the top-10, Clemson stayed No. 3 after falling one spot last week, while Georgia moved up one to No. 6 after topping previous No. 6 Florida on Saturday in Jacksonville. Some big movement could be in store next week with Coaches No. 1 Alabama hosting No. 2 LSU, as well as unbeatens No. 5 Penn State and No. 13 Minnesota playing the same day in Minneapolis. Another reason for movement could be the first College Football Playoff rankings being unveiled on Tuesday (approx. 9 p.m./ESPN), which tends to cause some changes in the traditional polls after. Wake Forest rounds out the ACC reps in the top-25 at No. 20 now.
