Can you tell that we are excited for the college football season yet? After telling you which games would be played on Saturday we now see that the preseason AP Top 25 poll has been released! Not surprisingly, the typical names are at the top.
Alabama is the number one team going into this season even though they lost last year’s National Championship game against Clemson. They have plenty of returners and have been the best teams over the past 10 seasons or so though so it makes sense to us. The Clemson Tigers land at number five in part because they lost many key pieces to their title winning team like Deshaun Watson to the NFL. Let’s get to the top 25…
