The Alabama Crimson Tide remain the number one team in the land, but the Clemson Tigers, who defeated Nick Saban’s team in the championship game last year, have gained significant votes to climb to #2, following their 47-21 victory over the Louisville Cardinals.
The Oklahoma Sooners, who jumped to #2 following their resounding victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes, slipped to #3 this week. The Penn State Nittany Lions leapfrogged over the USC Trojans to round out this week’s top 5.
The Trojans battled Texas last night in what can only be described as an instant classic.
