Clemson slips in AP Poll, Ohio State moves up
Clemson's slide in the polls continued with the AP dropping the Tigers to No. 4 matching their ranking in the Coaches Poll.
Clemson's 27-23 win over undefeated Syracuse wasn't the most impressive victory statistically, but when you look at what Clemson overcame, it is hard to imagine that they aren't a better football team heading into this week.
