Clemson Tigers Football

Clemson fell 16 spots in the latest Associated Press Top 25.  That’s a drop from No. 9 to No. 25 this week after a 28-7 loss at Duke on Labor Day.  The Tigers committed multiple critical turnovers and had defensive lapses in the stunning defeat in Durham, where Clemson was a 13-point favorite.  In the ACC, Florida State rounds out a Top 4 led by Georgia, then Michigan and Alabama. North Carolina checks in at No. 17 and Duke debuted at No. 21.  Early November home opponent Notre Dame moved up three spots to No. 10.  The Tigers hung on to a No. 21 ranking with the Coaches Poll on Tuesday.
