The latest AP Top 25 college football poll was released Tuesday following week one, with Clemson being pushed a spot down the list.
The Tigers ranked No.4 in the preseason poll, but after Clemson’s 41-10 win against Georgia Tech Monday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Clemson has dropped a spot to the No.5 ranked team in the poll.
Clemson wasn’t necessarily dominant in their win against Georgia Tech, but the team showed signs of why they are ranked so highly in the first place.
The Tigers’ defense looked about as good as they were hyped up to be, with the offense overcoming some early struggles and putting forth a solid performance.
