Here is the latest ACC sports news from The Associated Press | National Sports

UNDATED (AP) — Georgia extended its streak of No. 1 rankings in The Associated Press college football poll to 19 straight weeks, the third best in the history of the rankings. No. 9 Alabama moved back into the top 10 after being out for five weeks. The Bulldogs received 38 of 63 first-place votes, their second-lowest total of the season, after an off week but still bested No. 2 Michigan. Georgia’s No. 1 streak, which started last October, is behind only Miami’s streak of 21 weeks from 2001-02 and Southern California’s 33 in a row from 2003-05. North Carolina dropped seven spots to No. 17 after losing to unranked Virginia.

UNDATED (AP) — Penn State is still chasing elite under coach James Franklin. The seventh-ranked Nittany Lions lost a seventh straight game to Ohio State, needing more than 59 minutes to get into the end zone against the third-ranked Buckeyes. Ohio State has All-American Marvin Harrison Jr., the native Pennsylvanian who set a career high with 11 catches for 162 yards and a touchdown. Five years since Franklin said his program was great but not elite, the Nittany Lions still aren’t. Meanwhile, in the Big 12 don’t book that Oklahoma-Texas championship rematch just yet.
