Clemson (1-1) is now ranked No. 6 in the new coaches poll.
The Tigers, previously ranked No. 6 in the coaches poll, defeated South Carolina State 49-3 on Saturday at Death Valley.
Clemson finished with 504 total yards, its 68th 500-yard game under Dabo Swinney, and is now 66-2 in those contests. Clemson’s five rushing touchdowns against SC State were its most in a game since 2019 at NC State (five).
