The Tigers lost to N.C. State in overtime on Saturday, their second loss of the season.
Clemson tumbled to No.25 in The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday, snapping its streak of 97 straight weeks in the top 10. The Tigers (2-2) lost for the second time this season Saturday — falling in double overtime to North Carolina State — and dropped 16 spots from No.9 in the AP Top 25, which is presented by Regions Bank. Clemson’s top-10 streak was tied with Alabama for the longest current run in college football and second-longest in the history of the AP poll, behind Miami’s 137 from 1985-93. The Crimson Tide remained No.1 with 58 first-place votes out of 62. No.2 Georgia received the remaining four first-place votes. Oregon stayed No.3. Penn State moved up two spots to No.4, Iowa held at No.5 and Oklahoma slipped two spots to No.6. • A University of Utah football player has died in a shooting at a house party early Sunday, Salt Lake City police said. The shooting that killed Aaron Lowe occurred just after midnight, only hours after the Utes beat Washington State 24-13, and less than a year after a teammate of Lowe’s died in an accidental shooting. Police said another victim in Sunday’s shooting incident – a woman – was hospitalized in critical condition and authorities were searching for a suspect. The Suns said the two-time All-Star won’t participate in Monday’s media day.
