Clemson drops one spot in both major football polls
Clemson, which was idle this weekend, dropped in both major college football polls that were releases Sunday.
The Tigers (3-0) fell one spot to No. 12 in The Associated Press Top 25. Utah (4-0) leapfrogged Clemson in the AP poll, jumping from No. 18 to No. 10.
Clemson also dropped one to No. 11 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. The Tigers were passed by UCLA (4-0).
The Tigers’ opponent this week, Notre Dame (4-0), remained No. 6 in the AP Top 25 and climbed one to No. 7 in the coaches poll.
Oregon is out of the AP poll for the first time since 2009, snapping its streak of consecutive Top 25 appearances at 98. The Ducks were blasted at home 62-20 by Utah on Saturday night.
The top six teams in the AP media poll were the same as last week with Ohio State No. 1, Michigan State No.2 and Mississippi No. 3.
