In the first AP Poll of the year, the Alabama Crimson Tide are ranked first in the nation, followed by familiar faces Oklahoma, Ohio State, Clemson and Georgia to round out the top five.
The No. 1 ranked Clemson Tigers had their yearly close win against an unranked team in the disappointing Atlantic Coast Conference. After squeaking out a win from a then 4-2 Boston College squad, it’s clear to me that a competitive 2020 College Football Playoff shouldn’t include the Clemson Tigers.
