Clemson still shut out of AP Poll

---

The meeting of ACC preseason favorites will not be a AP-ranked matchup in Death Valley.

Clemson stayed one spot out of the latest Associated Press Top 25, trailing Florida that entered the ranking this week after knocking off Tennessee.

Florida State fell one spot to No. 4 after struggling as a heavy favorite at BC, resulting in a 31-29 win.

Clemson fell one spot in the updated Coaches Poll this week to No. 23 after Saturday's 48-14 win over Florida Atlantic.

The ACC has four in the rankings and Clemson plays a factor in each, beyond Saturday's noon game with the Seminoles -- the Tigers lost to No. 18 Duke and will host No. 17 North Carolina in November and head to No. 20 Miami in October.

Clemson also hosts No. 9 Notre Dame to kick things off in November.
