Clemson holds strong grip on No. 1 in Coaches Poll

---

Clemson didn't lose a first-place vote in the Coaches Poll this week (52), where they lead the way ahead of Alabama (8) and Ohio State (2), which moved up two spots this week.

Clemson pulled away in the second half to a 47-21 win over Syracuse Saturday, while Alabama topped Tennessee 48-17, Notre Dame dominated at Pittsburgh, 45-3, and Ohio State rolled over Nebraska, 52-17. On the fringe of that top group is Oklahoma State at No. 6, who rallied to top Iowa State, 24-21.

Notre Dame is next-best from the ACC at No. 4, while Georgia completes the top-5.

Miami, at 12, and UNC, at 13, round out the conference reps.
