Three Atlantic Coast Conference teams are in The Associated Press’ preseason top-25 poll, and Syracuse football will face these squads in three-consecutive games during the upcoming 2023 campaign.
The AP’s preseason top 25, unveiled on Monday, puts two-time defending national champion Georgia in the top spot, followed in the top five by Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama and LSU.
Given that the Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten Conference are the two top leagues in college football, it’s no surprise that The AP’s preseason top five consist of groups solely from those two conferences.
