Clemson falls out of updated AP Poll

---

Clemson fell out of this week's Associated Press Top 25.

They garnered the 26th-most votes, with 86 points, behind new No. 25 Iowa (106). The Tigers were last out of the AP Top 25 from weeks 6-12 of the 2021 campaign.

Clemson dropped from No. 9 to No. 25 previously after Monday’s 28-7 loss at Duke.

On Saturday, the Tigers struggled through the first quarter to a 14-14 score with FCS-level Charleston Southern, but they recovered to nearly cover the 50.5-point spread with a 66-17 win.

Clemson dropped a lone spot with the Coaches Poll to No. 22, while ESPN's power rankings had it fall out from a No. 25 spot.

Clemson is back in Death Valley under the lights this Saturday for an 8 p.m. kickoff against Florida Atlantic (ACCN).
