As college football rapidly approaches, ESPN released their ACC football preseason power rankings today and Clemson topped their list.
1. Clemson Tigers: We’ve seen Deshaun Watson healthy and moving around on the practice field, and that’s enough to bump the Tigers back up to the top spot. The question of whether he can stay healthy all season still looms large, but for now, Clemson appears to be in good shape.
2. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: The return of Jabari Hunt-Days to the defensive front should be a big help, and the addition of Patrick Skov to the depth chart at B-back fills a need. Right guard is probably the biggest concern as the Jackets approach the season opener.
The biggest surprise is that FSU is neither 1 nor 2 on the list. Check out the full acc preseason power rankings here.
