Clemson drops in latest AP poll |
Alabama didn't have to play this week in ascending to the top spot in the Associated Press Top-25 before heading to LSU next weekend.
Clemson, which had seen its grip on No. 1 drop to a four-vote margin last week, dropped to fourth after the 47-40 double OT loss at new No. 2 Notre Dame. Ohio State, at third, and Texas A&M, at five, complete the top-5. Alabama has 59 first-place votes to Notre Dame's two and Ohio State's one. Clemson had been No. 1 since preseason in the poll. Elsewhere in the ACC, Miami is No. 9.
