Coach Kirby Smart has built a program to rival Nick Saban's Alabama dynasty so voters are nowAlabama had been preseason No. 1 each of the last two seasons, and five of the previous seven. Clemson was preseason No. 1 in the other two seasons, making Georgia the first team other than the Tide or Tigers to be preseason No.

No offense to the Minnesota 1935 team, but I don’t know if it’s going to resonate with my audience.”
The Seminoles are back in the preseason rankings for the first time since 2018, and in the top 10 for the first time since 2017.Since the AP preseason poll started in 1950, 11 teams that started No. 1 also finished No. 1.
