Clemson's preseason AP Poll ranking released

---

Clemson found out its starting point for one of the longest-running rankings in college football on Monday.

The AP Poll, which has been around since 1936, ranked Clemson No. 4.

Alabama claimed the top spot with 54 first-place votes followed by Ohio State (6) and Georgia (3).

Clemson debuted at No. 3 in the poll last year and finished 14th. The Tigers had been the only team in college football from 2016-20 to be ranked in the AP preseason top-5 and finish in the top-5 each season.

Clemson started 4-3 and finished the 2021 season on a six-game winning streak to reach double-digit wins for an 11th consecutive season, which is something only Clemson and Alabama have accomplished within a Power conference.

The Tigers were ranked No. 4 in the 2022 preseason Coaches Poll, where Alabama took 54 first-place votes for the top spot, with Ohio State (5) and Georgia (6) ranked second and third respectively.
