and the comments are - in some cases - hilarious.
So that you don't have to go over there.....
Don't get me wrong, Clemson is always #1 on my poll whether we win or lose but there is no possible way to rank teams when they've only played a few games.
ESPiN and the SEC got by with murder for an entire decade because of preseason ranking. They called it the BCS era. They would collectively assemble 'data,' which was all subjective and prove that 10 or 12 SEC teams were better than all but a few others.
You mean like when the SEC was beating the snot out of all of the other conferences in the bowl games?
Nailed it! That is exactly why I consider the BCS National Championships pretty much bogus. The press/polls basically awarded the national championship .....i.e. Alabama's win over a pitiful Notre Dame tea, or the rematch between Bama and LSU.
Wasn't Notre Dame undefeated and in the game for that very reason? That's hardly an awarded title.
We will be number #1 after Bama does not cover the spread with Vandy this week.
We were 18.5 point favorites and tripled that.
And now for a very awesome Tiger fan:
Wow. Only a team that had been on top for years would have a message board that is that reasonable. 80% of the posts put Clemson as #1. Amazing. I agree that Clemson should be 1 but if the situation were reversed, not sure I would put Alabama first and Clemson 2nd. Definitely gained respect for their fans after reading that.
He's followed by a total klutz....
when we beat them again this year. That way they can say “I told you they were better than us” in hopes that people will side with them instead of rubbing it in their face that they lost to an acc school again.
I think I know where to mail this batch of sour grapes I've been looking to unload on someone deserving....
