When they were riding from the stadium to the airport following their 35-point win over Louisville on Saturday, Clemson co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott, and the other coaches, kind of joked around about how far the media was going to move them down the top 25 poll this week.
“We wondered how far we will slide now,” Scott said laughing Monday as he recalled the conversation.
The Tigers, who have won 22 straight games, fell from No. 3 to No. 4 in the Associated Press Poll despite their 45-10 win at Louisville. It was the second straight week and the third time in the last four weeks they have fallen in the media poll.
