The Tigers' previous high mark was No. 4 in 1984 and 1988. In last year's run to the title game Clemson was ranked No. 12 in the preseason. Alabama (33 votes), Clemson (16), Oklahoma (4), Florida State (4), LSU (1), Ohio State (1) and Michigan (1) all received at least one first place vote, marking the most teams to get this recognition since eight teams received votes in 1998.
