here is a Clemson mention:
The phenomenon we're witnessing is not unlike the self-perpetuating effect of booms and busts on the American economy: the marginalized class (non-SEC) suffers more from the lows and benefits less from the highs, further depressing them over time. Clemson, an ACC team with the same record as Texas A&M before the Aggies' third loss, was still ranked lower despite starting the season five spots higher, losing to 12th-ranked Georgia and taking the No. 1 team to overtime, both on the road.

This article is great and on point. It is not about the magazine and others are hijacking the message thread. It is incredulous to say one would agree with the premise of the story, but dismiss it because of its source. In other words, something cannot be truthful and accurate if one does not like the source?
It is wrong what ESPN and the SEC are being allowed to do, and unfair to other universities and players not in the SEC - and all some people care about is where the material was authored and not the injustice!

I normally would agree with everything written in that

article.
But, it is from Rolling Stone, and their articles and opinion pieces are always wrong, full of drivel and palp.
I don't think I can handle agreeing with anything RS produces.

Yep...
Matt Taibbi and a few others certainly used RS as a springboard.
Maybe we're close in age. I certainly coveted my subscription back in the day....nothing I wanted more than my weekly delivery of SI and RR! How times have changed, right?

Love this...
"For example, two different broadcasters on the network, analyst Brock Huard and anchor Cassidy Hubbarth, proclaimed that Florida State – one of only two teams in this week's AP top five not in the SEC – "barely escaped," "struggled" and took Wake Forest "down to the wire" in a game it won 43-3."
