Clemson football preseason ranking debates

Overview

Following the release of the USA Today preseason Coaches Poll, which ranked the Clemson Tigers at No. 23, analysts debated whether the program was “overrated” due to brand recognition despite a 7-6 previous season and significant roster turnover.

As more preseason rankings for the 138 FBS teams were released, Clemson’s projected position showed variation across different media outlets. Rankings for the team ranged from No. 22 by Pro Football Network to No. 33 by The Athletic, reflecting differing assessments of the roster following recent losses.
