Clemson climbs in latest football polls
Clemson moved up in both major football polls released Sunday.
The Tigers (2-0) are No. 11 in the new Associated Press Top 25, up one spot from last week. Clemson moved up three spots to No. 9 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
Clemson travels to face Louisville (0-2) on Thursday night.
Ohio State remains No. 1, but the Buckeyes are no longer unanimous. No. 4 Michigan State receives two first-place votes after beating Oregon 31-28. Alabama remains No. 2. TCU is 3.
No. 19 BYU jumps into the rankings after beating Boise State and knocking out the Broncos.
Three Southeastern Conference teams fell out of the AP Top 25 after the league that set a record for most teams in the college football rankings last week had a rough weekend.
Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi State all dropped out after losses Saturday. Auburn dropped 12 spots to No. 18 after needing overtime to beat Jacksonville State of the FCS.
The SEC was down to seven ranked teams, still the most of any conference.
