Clemson (8-0, 5-0) stays with a #3 national rankings in the latest AP Poll with 1381 points and six first-place votes on Sunday after a convincing 56-41 victory over NC State on Halloween.

The Tigers put up a tremendous 623 yards on offense with Deshaun Watson leading the way with 23 of 30 passing for 383 yards and five passing touchdowns, and he also had 14 carries for 54 yards and a score.

"I think we're a team obviously that's in the hunt, we've earned that," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said during Saturday's post-game press conference.

It was the second straight road triumph of the season for the Tigers.

Clemson was ranked #5 with 1377 points and two first-place votes in the latest Coaches Poll published earlier on Sunday.
