by Brandon Rink - Staff Writer - Sun Nov 19 12:43:30 GMT-04:00 2017

The Coaches Poll saw the status quo after no upsets in the top-10 this weekend.

The top-5 remains Alabama (all 64 first-place votes), Miami, Clemson, Wisconsin and then Oklahoma.

One team Clemson beat in the top-25 of the poll dropped out with NC State losing at Wake Forest, but another re-joined the top 25 in Virginia Tech, after a 20-14 win over Pitt.

This weekend's opponent South Carolina is team No. 26, leading the receiving votes category (69).
