College Football Rankings

Clemson held on to its top-5 Associated Press poll standing, but a familiar name is charging for the spot.  Clemson was again No. 5 in the AP Poll this week, trailing Georgia (59 first votes), Alabama (3), Ohio State (1) and Michigan.  Oklahoma is only 11 vote points off from the Tigers with Brent Venables and the Sooners at No. 6.  Miami, the ACC’s other highest-ranked team in the poll, fell at Texas A&M on Saturday, 17-9, and dropped from 13th to 25th. This weekend’s trip, Wake Forest, fell two spots with a win to No. 21. Other league teams ranked are NC State (No. 12) and Pitt (24). Clemson is also No. 5 in the latest Coaches Poll.
