Debate rages between Florida State, Clemson as ACC's top team for 2016

Florida State ended up with the No. 1 class in the nation on signing day, unseating Alabama for the top spot. As has been noted before, Jimbo Fisher has had the top class in the ACC every year he has been head coach.

But is a group of incoming freshmen enough to vault the Seminoles ahead of Clemson in the Way-Too-Early Top 25 for 2016? ESPN.com columnist Mark Schlabach says yes.

Schlabach has Florida State No. 2 in his post-signing day Top 25, four spots higher than the first version that appeared after the national championship game.
