The SB Nation FanPulse Preseason Top 25 is out and, to the surprise of no one, the Clemson Tigers will enter the season as the nation’s top team, according to a voting block made up of fans here at The Smoking Musket and others across 65 of SB Nation’s college football communities.
The rest of the poll lines up pretty evenly with what we saw in the preseason Coaches Poll, with the exception of the Miami Hurricanes sliding in at No. 22 — seven spots up from their position in the Coaches Poll. The Hurricanes made headlines this week when new head coach Manny Diaz named redshirt freshman Jarren Williams the starting quarterback over Ohio State transfer and noted Chipotle enthusiast Tate Martell and N’Kosi Perry, a redshirt sophomore that played in 11 games for the Canes last season.
