at TCU in coach Deion’s Sanders debut was the story of the weekend, and now the Buffaloes are ranked for the first time since a brief stay in the 2020 season. The Buffs were ranked for two weeks in 2018 but have finished a season in the Top 25 only once in the last 20 seasons.
Duke capped the long Labor Day weekend of college football by knocking off Clemson 28-7 on Monday night in Durham, N.C. It was the Blue Devils’ first victory against a team ranked in the top 10 since 1989 against a No. 7 Clemson team. That season was also the last time Florida State appeared in the preseason Top 25. The Seminoles quickly faded that year, slipping into the worst stretch the program has had since the 1970s.
Having Florida State near the top of the AP poll is a familiar sight, just not recently. The last time FSU was ranked this high during the regular season was when it reached No. 2 in September 2016.
