Clemson overrated at No. 1? Not likely. There may be a case for Ohio State to lead the preseason Amway Coaches Poll, but the Tigers have won at least 14 games in four of the past five seasons and return a generational talent in quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
To find teams that may be overrated in this year's debut poll, you have to go beyond the clear-cut top six to find teams that may struggle against the conference-only schedules in place with several Power Five leagues.
In the SEC and Big Ten, for example, the easier non-conference games have been replaced by added games against conference opponents.
