The latest AP Top 25 college football poll was released Sunday following Week 3 of the season.

Clemson (3-0, 1-0 ACC) is ranked No. 5 in the new AP Top 25 after its 48-20 win over Louisiana Tech on Saturday night at Death Valley.

The Tigers were also previously ranked No. 5 in the AP Top 25 after Week 2.

Against Louisiana Tech, sophomore running back Will Shipley rushed 12 times for a career-high 139 yards and two touchdowns as the Tigers used a 35-point second half to cruise past the Bulldogs (1-2).

Clemson gained a season-high 521 total yards, including 280 on the ground, and forced four turnovers, leading to 21 Tiger points. The Tigers extended their nation-leading home winning streak to 36 games.

Clemson will return to the road next week when the Tigers travel to face Wake Forest (ranked No. 21 in the latest AP Top 25) this Saturday, Sept. 24. The game will kick off at noon ET on ABC.
