Clemson didn't see much change in their ranking this week. The road loss to the Hokies does slide the Tigers back one spot, though. That was Clemson's third loss in the last four games with the lone win coming against Boston College at home.
Clemson appeared destined to be a team on a mission after the non-conference portion of their schedule; however, once they reached ACC play, the Tigers have struggled.
Clemson has a must-win game against Georgia Tech, ranked No. 14 in these rankings, and a road trip to Tallahassee against Florida State, now ranked ahead of them.
