Clemson Tigers remain No. 1 in AP college football poll, but Alabama Crimson Tide closing gap

Clemson remained number one in the Associated Press College football poll on Sunday, but not by a long shot.

The absence of Trevor Lawrence as a result of COWID-19 and the narrow victory of the Tigers at Boston College created a gap between the 62 writers and the broadcasters who took part in the vote.

Clemson got 33 votes for first place, 19 less than last week and only two points ahead of second seeded Alabama, which started this week with the big CCA game in Notre Dame in fourth place.
