Clemson, which dropped out of the top 25 last week after losing to the Cavaliers on Sept. 22, moved back into the 19th position after beating Georgia Tech on Saturday, 47-44. Clemson quarterback Woodrow Dantzler rushed for 164 yards and two TDs and passed for 254 yards and another two scores in the victory. Georgia Tech, previously the ACC leader and ninth-ranked team in the country, fell to 17th after the loss.
Florida State moved up two spots to 16th after beating Wake Forest on Saturday, 48-24.
Virginia and North Carolina also received votes, 16 and 11 respectively, but failed to crack the top 25.
After this week's play, the nation's top five teams remained unchanged. Miami retained the top ranking after beating Pittsburgh 43-31 on Thursday. Florida, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas followed the Hurricanes.
