Clemson, Ohio State Lead First Coaches Poll of 2020

Trevor Lawrence and the Tigers sit atop the first Coaches Poll of 2020 after losing the National Championship in 2019.

Clemson is ranked No. 1 in the first Awmay Coaches Poll of 2020.

The Tigers received 38 first-place votes, putting them ahead of Justin Fields and Ohio State, which received 17 first-place votes. Alabama, Georgia and LSU round out the top five, with both SEC West teams—Alabama and LSU—receiving multiple first-place votes.

Clemson has reached the College Football Playoff in four of the last five seasons. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence led the Tigers to a national title in 2018, but Clemson lost to LSU in the 2019 National Championship.
