Tigers ranked No. 4 in updated AP Poll


by -

A light week in the top-10 kept the top-4 the same in this week's Associated Press top-25.

Alabama (60), Notre Dame (1), Ohio State (1) and Clemson are that group in order.

By schedule or COVID, three of those top-4 teams didn't play this week, with the Irish representing the leading quartet with a 45-31 win at Boston College Saturday. Elsewhere in range, Florida ran away from Arkansas, 63-35, Cincinnati dominated East Carolina, 55-17, Miami rallied at Virginia Tech, 25-24, and Indiana shut out Michigan State, 24-0.

The ACC is also represented at No. 12 with Miami.

Clemson is scheduled to return to action this Saturday at Florida State (noon, ABC), where starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence is expected back after missing the last two games in COVID-19 protocol.
