Clemson swaps spots with Florida State in another preseason poll

Though not as well known as the AP Top 25, the Football Writers Association of America and the National Football Foundation do a poll called the Super 16 Poll, and they just released their preseason edition.

The Super 16 is very similar to the AP Top 25, except Clemson is ranked at 8th, one spot ahead of Florida State.

The message we should glean from this is that both teams are very good, and their upcoming meeting in Death Valley should be epic.

Clemson Football has made a new offer to a Class of 2025 propsect. DJ Pickett, the No. 1 safety and overall Top 10 talent in the class, has announced a Clemson offer. He recently released a list of top schools, so time will tell if Clemson will now be included among them.
