Clemson ranked in Top 2 in latest Preseason Poll |
The upcoming College Football season is almost here and the Sporting News updated their preseason Top 25 poll due to changes in the coaching staffs throughout the country and summer roster depth charts.
Clemson is ranked No. 2 in the poll behind only Alabama. "Business as usual for Dabo Swinney," the website wrote. "The Tigers suffered a few losses to the NFL Draft, but running back Travis Etienne is a value pick for the Heisman Trophy and the defensive line features four potential first-round picks in Dexter Lawrence, Christian Wilkins, Austin Bryant and Clelin Ferrell. The arrival of five-star freshman Trevor Lawrence has shaken up the quarterback battle, but that only reinforces the point: Clemson isn't going anywhere." ACC teams in the Top 25 included No. 2 Clemson, No. 11 Miami, No. 17 Virginia Tech, and No. 20 Florida State. In-state rival South Carolina was surprisingly ranked No. 23.
