Swinney says Tigers chasing elusive 0.7 points to impress AP voters

For a second straight week, and for a third time in four weeks, Clemson fell in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll on Sunday.

The Tigers, who beat Louisville 45-10 at Cardinal Stadium in Louisville on Saturday, dropped from No. 3 to No. 4 in this week’s top 25. Last week, they fell from No. 2 to No. 3.

Ohio State jumped Clemson this week after the Buckeyes beat a 1-5 Northwestern team on the road Friday night. LSU jumped the Tigers in Week 8 after it defeated a top 10 team in Florida.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney got a little sarcastic when asked if he was surprised the media continues to drop his team in the poll, despite the Tigers winning their last two games by 31 and 35 points respectively.
