Clemson ranks No.4 in USA TODAY Sports’ college football preseason re-rank

Clemson is one of the best teams in the country heading into the 2023 season, and this re-rank has them higher than their poll rankings.

The start of the college football season is within grasp, and we are all excited for the start of another season.

As we fast approach the start of the season, sports media pour out their final preseason rankings in anticipation for the season to come. The latest to do so is USA TODAY Sports’ Paul Myerberg, who recently re-ranked the entire Football Bowl Subdivision from No.1 to No. 133.

Clemson landed highly for Myerberg, ranking No.4 in the country. One of the highest rankings we’ve seen for the Tigers, this is higher than their official Coaches Poll and AP Poll rankings of No.9 in the country.

Myerberg predicts an 11-3 season for the Tigers which would be solid but fall short of expectations for Clemson fans. The ACC had four teams in the top 25 including Florida State (No.7), North Carolina (No.20) and Pittsburgh (No.25).
