The latest AP Top 25 Poll was released Sunday after Week 7 of the college football season.
Following Saturday’s 49-14 victory over Wake Forest, Clemson (5-1, 4-0 ACC) stayed put at No. 10 in the updated AP Poll.
The Tigers cracked the AP top 10 last week with their No. 10 ranking following their 29-13 win over Florida State on Oct. 5.
On Saturday against Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, N.C., Clemson scored 28 points in the second quarter fueled by a pair of interceptions to pull away from the Demon Deacons.
Junior quarterback Cade Klubnik completed 31-of-41 passes for 309 yards and three touchdowns. Phil Mafah ran for 108 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and tight end Jake Briningstool hauled in seven catches for 104 yards and a score. Additionally, Antonio Williams became the first Tiger since C.J. Spiller in 2009 to throw and catch a touchdown in a game, hauling in a 22-yarder from Klubnik in the second quarter and hitting Briningstool on a 28-yard double pass in the third quarter.
Defensively, Wade Woodaz posted six tackles, including 1.5 tackles for loss and a sack, to lead the Tigers as Clemson forced three three-and-outs, a turnover on downs and interceptions by Kylon Griffin and Khalil Barnes. Barrett Carter added five tackles (1.5 for loss) and a sack.
The Tigers rolled up 566 yards of offense and 37 first downs — third-most in school history — and held possession for a season-best 36:29 while holding Wake Forest to just 233 yards of offense and 16 first downs.
Clemson will return to Memorial Stadium this Saturday when the Tigers host Virginia. The game is slated to kick off at noon ET on ACC Network.
