Clemson ranked #1 in the country in the first AP Poll

The AP top 25 poll was released today, and the Tigers are at the top, followed by Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia and Oklahoma.

Clemson was named No. 1 in the USA Today coaches preseason poll released earlier this month.

The strange thing about this poll is it still has Big 10 and Pac 12 teams.
