Three SEC teams received first-place votes in the preseason Super 16 poll that was led by defending national champion Clemson at No. 1.

Alabama checked in at No. 2, Georgia at No. 3 and LSU at No. 6 — and all received at least one first-place vote — in a poll where Oklahoma and Ohio State rounded out the top five. The poll is put out by the Football Writers Association of America, and made by writers selected to create a balanced geographical perspective.

Florida was ranked at No. 10, Texas A&M at No. 12 and Auburn at No. 16 to round out the poll. Missouri, Kentucky and Mississippi State also received votes.

The first regular season poll will be released on Tuesday, Sept. 3 following the Labor Day games, and the final poll will be released Sunday, Dec. 8.

Here is the poll.
