There are 30 coaches out there that think Clemson is deserving of the #1 spot?

Riddle me this batman, how do the gumps end up #1 with 29 first place votes and Clemson #2 when they have 30 first place votes? Clemson deserves to drop out of the top 10 after their performance yesterday...

I wish we could be ranked around 12. That’s the sweet spot.

Not that the week 5 AP poll counts for anything whatsoever, but I am truly baffled at the fact that UGA has 4 first-place votes and Ohio State has 7, all the while LSU has none. What am I missing here? What have OSU and UGA done that LSU hasn’t?

How the hell is Texas AM still ranked in this poll anyway? That alone should tell you this poll is bullshite. I mean they should have lost their game vs Arkansas yesterday afternoon to be honest. There is no way that some of those teams... including a&m, should be ranked at all in the top 25. Geaux Tigers.

Agreed. I don't know where the love for this team is coming from but they have 0 wins over any good teams and 2 losses.

I would accept dropping to Auburn over Ohio State. Their schedule is garbage.

Fortunately, the coaches poll doesn't matter. I don't even know why the NCAAF even still recognizes it!

What a crock of shite. This poll means absolutely nothing anyway. We just need to be Helen Keller to the bullshite and keep handling our business...then, everything else will fall into place and work out just fine. That's what matters, just keep winning and continue to get better every week. I believe this team will do just that and will be in prime position in the CFP when it comes out. Geaux Tigers and keep kickin' arse!

Take care of business against Florida and Auburn and we will be in the Top 4.

Same shite. Different year. We're not a media darling, so they're gonna knock us if they can. They have to pump up Ohio State and Oklahoma because both of their schedules are laughably easy. Both have exactly one game they have to win and they're pretty much in.
