Clemson Unranked, LSU Test Ahead | Clemson Tigers Football News

Clemson drops to No. 26 in the preseason AP Poll, marking their first time outside the top 25 since 2011 — but that’s fuel, not fear. Facing LSU (No. 11) in a high-stakes opener on Sept. 5 at 7:30 PM ET, they’ve got a chance to silence doubters and make a statement. The ACC looks strong with Miami (No. 7), Louisville (No. 24), and SMU (No. 19) all ranked. Their only other ranked matchups? LSU and Miami later in the season. With College GameDay in Baton Rouge and a hungry roster, Clemson’s unranked start might be exactly what they need to roar back into elite conversation.
