UNDATED (AP) – Clemson is spending a seventh consecutive week atop The Associated Press college football poll.  The Tigers extended their team-record run as No. 1 by crushing Georgia Tech, 73-7 in Atlanta. It was the most lopsided ACC game ever, the most points scored by Clemson in a road game and the most ever allowed by the Yellow Jackets since the modern era.  Clemson picked up 54 first-place votes, while second-ranked Alabama claimed the remaining eight.  Notre Dame is third, followed by Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Penn State, Cincinnati and Florida.  The Bulldogs fell one notch with Saturday’s 41-24 loss at Alabama, and North Carolina dropped from fifth to 14th with a 31-28 setback at Florida State.
