Jennings should be higher, and Maryland would be in the top 25 if not coming off that injury.

Yes, Clemson is stacked. The ACC is theirs to lose ... but I sure hope we can ruin their season for them.

Clemson has more than 1/3 of the top 25 players? Saw an interview with Clemson's Coach Dabo Swinney where he said they have 80% of last year's "production" returning and had all but 3 players from their 2025 roster participating in spring ball so he was very optimistic they might have enough talent to return to the ACC Championship Game and NCAA playoffs. They open their season against LSU so they get an early indication of how strong their team is going to be.
