The AP preseason top 25 poll was released on Monday, and the 2018 national champions remain on top.

Alabama edged out Clemson, while Georgia sits at No. 3 after playing the Crimson Tide in the national championship.

It's Alabama's third consecutive year on top of the preseason poll, something that's happened just once before.

Notre Dame comes in at No. 12 after rebounding with a 10-3 record and Citrus Bowl victory last season.
