(AP) -- Clemson is the new No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll , taking a close vote with Oklahoma after the top two teams in the rankings lost in the same weekend for the first time since 2012.
The Tigers jumped from fourth to No. 1 after blowing out South Carolina on Saturday night. Clemson received 27 first-place votes and No. 2 Oklahoma had 24. No. 3 Wisconsin received 10 first-place votes.
Auburn rose to No. 4 after beating Alabama, which had been No. 1 since the preseason . The Crimson Tide slipped to fifth. Georgia moved up a spot to No. 6 and Miami fell five spots to No. 7. The Hurricanes lost for the first time this season on Friday at Pittsburgh.

-- Alabama's loss means there still will be only two teams in the history of the AP poll to go from preseason to final poll as No. 1: Florida State was first to do it in 1999 and Southern California did it in 2004.
-- Wisconsin has its best ranking since the Badgers were No. 2 on Oct. 21, 1963.
UP
-- No. 14 Stanford moved up six spot after beating Notre Dame .
DOWN
-- Notre Dame dropped six spots to No. 15.
-- No. 21 Washington State fell seven spots after being routed by Washington , which moved up two spots to No. 13.
-- No. 24 Mississippi State dropped eight spots after losing to rival Mississippi on Thanksgiving night.
IN
-- No. 25 Fresno State was the only team to move into the rankings this week. The Bulldogs replaced Boise State after beating the Broncos on Saturday. Fresno State is ranked for the first time since spending most of the 2013 season in the Top 25.
