It’s official: NC State vs Clemson will be top-10 matchup. Here’s the latest AP poll

N.C. State-Clemson will be a battle of top 10 teams.

The Wolfpack moved up two spots to No. 10 in the latest AP poll, while the Tigers remained No. 5 in the latest rankings.

Both 4-0 entering Saturday’s 7:30 p.m. ACC showdown that will be broadcast on ABC, ESPN’s “College GameDay” is coming to the Carolinas for the second time in three weeks, only adding to the excitement as their show from Clemson will be part of the festivities when the Wolfpack and Tigers battle at Death Valley.

No. 12 in last week’s rankings, it was time for the Wolfpack to join the Tigers in the top 10.

N.C. State (4-0) hammered UConn as expected Saturday night, routing the FBS (in name only) Huskies, 41-10. That was expected.

What wasn’t expected was Texas Tech beating Texas, 37-34, in overtime. These are the same Texas Tech Red Raiders N.C. State beat, 27-14, a week earlier at Carter-Finley Stadium.

The last time the Wolfpack was in the top 10 was Oct. 27, 2002, when it was No. 10.
