One loss to the 2nd ranked team basically is a freebie. Kind of common sense here.

Which is exactly what ESPN is trying to counter by doing their super conference. People are sick of the normal teams. We need new challengers. The normal teams aren’t selling

Why does it matter? The polls are irrelevant.

I ask, how did people vote for Dementia and Laughing Girl?

Losing to Georgia is one thing but losing to NC State and looking pitiful doing it is another. The Clemson bias is ridiculous.



And Miss St beat NC St by 2 TDs.

Any of the preseason top 4 would likely have the same bias, regardless of the team. Getting the benefit of the doubt is one of the perks of being ranked so high from the start. It would be the same if LSU came in ranked in the top 4 and stood at 2-2.

IDK, but Arkansas fans are sure out of the woodwork and completely obnoxious after being completely irrelevant for nearly a decade.


They so rarely have anything to be obnoxious about let em have this little bit of glory they’ll return to irrelevance soon

If NC State beat them, half of the ACC can beat them on any given day. Clemson looking at 8-4 , 9-3

I agree that Clemson’s schedule is very often weak, but remember they won a NC in 1980 or 1981 and recently beat a pretty good Bama team for a NC. No Heisman’s to date. I would welcome them into the SEC. We need more cupcakes on the schedule and Dabo being a Bama alum would be a bonus. Kiss *$$ all day long… come on down baby tigers.

Being 25th sucks. There are so many shitty teams ahead of Clemson too. It doesn’t matter.

Poll inertia is massive within P5 programs, and the more prestigious the name, the worse it is.
