The first CFB Playoff poll will be released this coming week and it seems as if the Clemson football team could be on the outside-looking in.
In many projections, the Tigers are expected to be No. 5 when the rankings come out. According to CBS, Clemson football would be ranked behind LSU, Ohio State, Alabama and Penn State.
The problem with this top-four, though, is the fact that LSU and Alabama will play each other, and Ohio State and Penn State will play each other. So, even in worst case scenario, Clemson football would be ranked within the top-four in the second poll as long as they keep on winning.
