Clemson has been one of the most talked-about teams all offseason, and ESPN’s first power rankings of 2025 only added fuel to the fire. Dabo Swinney’ s Tigers landed at No. 3, coming in ahead of both their AP Poll and Coaches Poll placements.
The first PFF top 25 poll is out, and it arrives not long after the Coaches Poll and the official preseason AP Poll. It has some incredibly shocking changes, though.
Announced on Monday, Alabama had four players named on the 2025 AP Preseason All-America Team. Offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor and wide receiver Ryan Williams were both named to the first team, while center Parker Brailsford and defensive tackle Tim Keenan III were named to the second team.
When the final AP Poll comes out at the end of the season, the Texas football team will be still be ranked No. 1 in the country. The Longhorns will lift the national championship trophy at the end of the year.
The SEC placed a record 10 teams in the Associated Press preseason poll, which was released Monday with Texas on top (for the first time).
