The College Football News has released their preseason rankings for the 2023 season. While many rankings have Clemson Tigers rivals Florida State as the highest ranked program in the Atlantic Coast Conference, CFN has other ideas.
CFN has Clemson Football ranked 7th nationally, following Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, USC and Penn State.
In contrast, Florida State is ranked 14th by CFN. The next highest ranked ACC teams is Miami at 20th. South Carolina is ranked 24th.
CFN’s preseason ranking does differ from their prediction of the first AP Poll, which will be release later in August.
