Dabo Swinney's 8-1 group fell to No. 12 in the latest Coaches Poll. With Clemson one of three top-6 teams to fall, the new top-5 is Georgia, which was No. 1 there already, Ohio State, Michigan, TCU and Tennessee, which lost at Georgia Saturday. The other top-6 team to lose was Alabama and they dropped to No. 11. The Fighting Irish moved into the rankings at No. 25.
