For the first time since the final 2013 poll, the CFRA has elected a unanimous # 1 team in the country. All ten first-place votes this week went to the unbeaten Clemson Tigers. Another interesting aspect of this poll is that Stanford and Michigan tied for the # 12 spot, just like they did in this week’s Coaches Poll.
