AP, Coaches Top 25 Polls: Clemson Jumps To No. 3; Notre Dame Makes Debut

Week 1 of college football is in the books and we already have some movement in the Associated Press and Coaches polls.

Despite the lack of upsets during the opening weekend, two Big 12 teams (West Virginia and Texas) dropped out of the polls after losses to Virginia Tech and Maryland, respectively.

Florida State, who opened the season at No. 3 in the polls, fell to tenth in the AP poll after being drubbed 24-7 by No. 1 Alabama and losing starting quarterback Deondre Francois for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

The Clemson Tigers slide into Florida State’s spot after thumping Kent State, while the Southern California Trojans fall from fourth to sixth in the AP poll after struggling with Western Michigan.

The Coaches poll, on the other hand, was kinder to Florida State and USC, dropping them to ninth and fifth, respectively.
