If anyone asks why teams jump us in the polls…

The way we finish games is the answer. Playing not to lose is not championship football.

Who gives a #### about his being in? Especially when we could’ve put them away. This 4th quarter was a ####### joke. Coaches have to answer for that. Go tigers till the death. No excuse for that though.

I do. The “in” Goclemsontigs was referencing is the playoffs. And who is this his you speak of? Reading comprehension is your friend.

Yes, other teams lost today that helps. But to sit there and say, “win and we’re in” is a little stupid. Other stuff has to happen around you.

Really? Clemson and the rest of the ACC are the ONLY ones that want Clemson in the playoffs. They (ESPN) are IN THIS GAME talking about the loser of Mich/OSU and two out of the SEC being in the playoffs! Then, add in USC (Southern Cal) is undefeated still.....they will play a high ranked UCLA at the end of the season.
They (ESPN/CBS/FOX) want NOTHING MORE than to leave Clemson out of the playoffs!
After this, Michigan will jump us (destroyed #10 PSU) TN almost certainly jumps us.....and, wouldn't be surprised if Bama stays ahead of us.
It is a win.....but, it was pitiful way to end the game, honestly.
Go Tigers!!!

Goodness, the anti-Clemson conspiracy theory crap again?!?

Look, if there were such a conspiracy against us, we wouldn’t have been ranked 4th to start the season. After the disappointing year we had last year, no one was justified in ranking us in the top 10. But they did, because we got the benefit of the doubt due to our great teams in years past.
If we are undefeated we are absolutely in the playoffs. If we have one loss but still win the ACC, we are still likely in the playoffs. Relax.

Incorrect. If GA and Alabama both finish with one loss they are both in. That leave two spots for everyone else and a Clemson team that barely wins every game could absolutely be left out of the playoffs.

Alabama could have 3 losses already this year. They've been on borrowed time all year. SEC will eat their own this year to their own detriment.

Undefeated ACC Champion is in over a 1 loss non-champion. A Conference Championship is one of the major criteria used by the selection committee.

So if Georgia loses to Tennessee, Tennessee loses to Alabama in the SEC championship, and they all end up with 1 loss. Who goes then. USC still has Oregon, UCLA, and the Pac10 championship. I don't see them making it through. I'm not saying that we couldn't get left out, but I don't see it if we are undefeated.

Unfortunately Streeter has the same disease that Elliott had. Absolutely go into a shell with play calling once you have a lead.

Well Tony went it the shell the first series of the second half. Tony’s offense was a 50/50 ball, give it to the Rb, or QB run. Streeter is a little better but not much.

The offense drove down the field and forced Florida St to use all 3 timeouts. Not sure what you want out of a drive. If you want to talk about Goodwin going into a shell, fine, but the offense moved the ball while running clock. Just because they didn't score it's Streeter's fault?

If fsu had recovered the onside kick we would have lost. I don't agree with the conservative play on offense.

CLEMSON Covered the Vegas expert's Spread.. So the Tigers actually exceeded the Vegas Power Rating System's expectations..That FSU QB showed a lot of toughness out there tonight... He's the best one they have had since Famous Jameous imo
