Clemson did little in the win Saturday night at Syracuse to dissuade most voters from voting it #1 again this week in both polls. The Tigers continued to dominate the ranking this week receiving all but 8 of the first place votes cast between the coaches and the media. Alabama picked up those non-Clemson votes to retain the second spot. The remainder of the top five is the same as last week with the coaches voting Georgia, Oklahoma and LSU 3-5, and the media going with Georgia, LSU and Oklahoma in those spots.
