The latest AP Top 25 Poll was released Sunday after Week 11 of the college football season.
Clemson (7-2, 6-1 ACC) climbed up to No. 17 in the updated AP Poll following following Saturday’s 24-14 victory over Virginia Tech at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va.
Entering Week 11, coming off an upset home loss to Louisville in Week 10, the Tigers were ranked No. 19 in the AP Poll.
On Saturday, Clemson outscored Virginia Tech 24-7 in the second half to overcome a 7-0 halftime deficit. The Tigers held the Hokies to just 228 total yards while forcing three turnovers.
Quarterback Cade Klubnik threw for 211 yards and three touchdowns, while running back Phil Mafah rushed 26 times for 128 yards as Clemson totaled 378 yards and 20 first downs. Tight end Jake Briningstool finished with three catches for 39 yards and a fourth-quarter score, breaking the school record for career receptions by a tight end on his touchdown reception.
Defensively, linebacker Sammy Brown made his first career start and led the Tigers with eight tackles (2.5 for loss) and a sack. Clemson held the Hokies to just 40 rushing yards on 21 attempts.
Clemson will conclude both its 2024 road slate and its 2024 conference slate next week when the Tigers face the Pittsburgh Panthers at Acrisure Stadium this Saturday, Nov. 16. Kickoff for that contest is set for noon ET on ESPN.
