Ranking the National Champions...


Jan 12, 2022, 2:48 PM

2018 Clemson at 7 seems low considering we blew out an Alabama team that was considered the best college football team ever by some going into the NCG.

2021 UGA sits at 27.

at 27th place it feels more like a participation trophy

I think 2018 Clemson & 2019 LSU teams should be higher......


Jan 12, 2022, 3:03 PM

than 2020 Bama.

I can't speak to the 1971 cornhuskers (b/c I hadn't been born yet), but '01 Canes, '13 FSU, & '95 cornhuskers were legit.

Jan 12, 2022, 4:06 PM

Why?

2020 Bama beat 4 ranked teams in the regular season, 2018 Clemson beat 1.

The only reason why last year's Bama team didn't get more recognition is because it was a COVID year with fewer games

Re: I think 2018 Clemson & 2019 LSU teams should be higher......


Jan 12, 2022, 4:39 PM

2020 bama beat 2 teams in regular season that finished ranked: TAMU & UGA......they beat ranked FLorida in SECCG

2018 Clemson beat 2 teams in regular season that finished ranked: Cuse & TAMU


rankings aside BOTH teams dominated their opponents. The "close games" that Clemson played @TAMU & Syracuse, Trevor Lawrence had either not taken over at QB OR he got injured early.

I think BOTH offenses were similar when fully funded, but I think Clemson's Defense gives them the edge over the '20 Bama team.

The Oklahoma/Nebraska games from 1968-1972 were some of the best football games ever played.

I would take Deshaun Watson and our 2016 team over Georgia's 2021 team any day.

#6 and #7 should be #1-2 ... 15-0 should mean more


Jan 12, 2022, 3:18 PM

Especially in the CFP era where you don’t coast through a regular season and find yourself anointed as the #1 team after a bowl win in a made up national championship.

Re: #6 and #7 should be #1-2 ... 15-0 should mean more


Jan 12, 2022, 4:07 PM

Even though #7 only played 1 ranked team in their first 13 games?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm hoping you're not counting a 6-5 Auburn team........


Jan 12, 2022, 4:47 PM

as a "ranked" win. There were a total of FOUR ranked SEC teams ranked at the end of 2020: Florida, UGA, Bama, & Texas A&M.

as for Clemson, they beat Syracuse and @Texas A&M that finished ranked, both close games and both w/o TL16 at QB for most of the games.

Jesus, we are complaining about being called the 7th best national champion in the last 54 years?

Look at 1-6 and tell us who we should be higher than.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

A) Who is complaining?


Jan 12, 2022, 4:50 PM

B) The team we blew out in the NCG was considered by some to be not only the greatest Alabama team ever, but the best college football team ever.

1-6 is made up of very good football teams, but I think an argument could be made that the 2018 Clemson team was as good, if not better, than a few of them.

Except you don't make that argument because you don't even bother naming "a few" of the teams they were better than

I can do that if you'd like, but that wasn't the point...

I didn't share the article because I thought it was wrong, I shared it because I thought it was interesting, relevant, and current. It's subjective. I'm not sure why you are coming in so hot on this?

Should be higher than 2020 Bammer and 2013 FSU.


Jan 12, 2022, 4:57 PM [ in reply to Re: Ranking the National Champions... ]

FSU’s roster was INCREDIBLE, but 2018 Clemson woulda got up big and not let FSU come back.

I do not have any evidence to support it


Jan 12, 2022, 6:01 PM

but I know for a fact that there was cheating in Georgia, it is the only logical reason why something I do not like happened.

I won't dispute #1, after that it's subjective imo. That Canes team was DOMINANT.

Re: Ranking the National Champions...


Jan 12, 2022, 7:04 PM

I agree, but talking-head logic is based on coot logic.

When Clemson beat "The Best Team Ever", it only proved "The Best Team Ever" wasn't the "Best Team Ever", only saban can beat the "Best Team Ever."

Giving the 'Best coach ever' his most embarrassing loss ever, with his best roster ever, doesn't count.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It all depends on whose list you are looking at, apparently.


Jan 12, 2022, 7:23 PM

I saw a different one that had

1) 2001 Miami
2) 2019 LSU
3) 2018 Clemson

That is more in line with most peoples thinking, I think. (Therefore, I Am.)

Everybody just needs to let the POUND PUPPIES enjoy the time in the sun>
One of the best defensive players had to transfer from Clemson.I mean come on!
They did keep everybody out of jail this year - as far as I know!
It only took forty plus years to do it!
Last but not least- 90-95% of us- will not be around to see them do it again!
