Clemson Football has won the Atlantic Coast Conference seven of the last eight seasons, but there has been a lot of hype around the Florida State Seminoles entering the 2023 campaign.
As such, it wasn’t a lock that the Tigers would be favored by the press when they voted in the ACC’s preseason poll, but they ended up at the top of the list…barely.
The Clemson Tigers were voted first in the preseason ACC poll with 2370 points, edging out Florida State, who had 2,304 points.
The Tigers held a larger advantage in first-place votes, pulling in 103, while the Seminoles had 67.
