The preseason Amway Coaches Poll, with outlooks for the top 25:
No. 1 Clemson (15-0)
Points: 1,619 (59 first-place votes). Previous ranking: 1. Opens: Aug. 29 vs. Georgia Tech (ACC, 8).
Outlook: A overwhelming performance in last year's national tittle game against Alabama has the Tigers at No. 1 for the first time in the preseason poll. The offense looks to be dominant again with QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Travis Etienne both among the best at their position.
