Clemson Football: Saturday Down South ranks Tigers No. 1 in the nation

Despite the fact that many other media organizations across the nation are already putting Alabama back in the No. 1 spot, Saturday Down South is not so quick to jump on the bandwagon.

The noted SEC website released its preseason top-25 and had Clemson football ranked No. 1 in the nation. The Tigers are coming off a season in which they went 15-0 and beat Alabama 44-16 in the National Championship game.

As we stated earlier, the vast majority of preseason polls have already put the Crimson Tide back in the No. 1 slot despite the outcome that happened in January, so it’s certainly surprising to Saturday Down South- which tends to be very pro-SEC- putting the Tigers atop the rankings instead of Alabama.
