USA Today releases Top 25

USA Today released its annual preseason Top 25 today. The coaches' poll has Georgia at No. 1 and Clemson at No. 9. South Carolina was just outside, coming in at No. 27 in voting.

Clemson got 999 total votes, while the Gamecocks garnered 64. Well, maybe Spurrier will change some minds by the end of the season ...

In an odd sense of correspondence, Rivals.com put Clemson at No. 9 and South Carolina at No. 27 in its preseason countdown last month, as well.
