ESPN released its latest college football power rankings this week following Week 2 of the season.
After struggling in last Saturday’s 27-16 win over Troy, Clemson tumbled down seven spots to No. 16 in ESPN’s updated power rankings.
It continues a big fall for the Tigers, who were No. 9 in ESPN’s power rankings after their Week 1 loss to LSU, and No. 3 in ESPN’s preseason power rankings.
“The Tigers’ offense continued to look lost in Week 2 against Troy, falling behind 16-3 in the first half before engineering a strong second-half comeback,” ESPN wrote.
