#Clemson up one by coaches, #CCU up & down in polls

Clemson is just a few points out of the AP top 25 this week (Travis Bell/SIDELINE CAROLINA)

The coaches voting in the weekly poll were only slightly impressed by Clemson’s win at Syracuse Friday night. The writers weren’t impressed enough to move them back into the Top 25. The Tigers moved up one spot to 24th in the coaches poll and remain unranked in the AP writers poll, though they were 26th in the voting. Coastal Carolina, which was off last week, is up one to 14th in the AP ranking but down one to 16th in the coaches poll.

Georgia is the unanimous #1 in both polls. Cincinnati continues to break new ground for Group of Five schools reaching #2 in the AP poll. The rest of the top five are Oklahoma, Alabama and Ohio State. Wake Forest is the highest ranked ACC team at #16.

USC’s opponent this week, Texas A&M is 17th, and Clemson’s opponent Pittsburgh is ranked 23rd in the AP poll.
