Why the agenda by eSECpn?
Oct 20, 2019, 1:18 PM

1. Money
2. Admin has fans of SEC teams
3. SEC is paying money to network to maintain an agenda in hopes of getting 2 SEC teams in playoffs - Clemson is in the way
4. Dabo's Christian beliefs
5. Sheer hatred of a team that isn't Hollywood enough for the glamour boys of TV?
6. Big 10 admin fans. Who needs an ACC team in it?
7. Unknown?
It might not be as obvious as some agendas but you can see it week in and out on eSECpn and if you don't you are fooling yourself. We get slighted. Sometimes it is sly or very cleverly done but it is done.

I thought 44-16 and 2 natties in 3 years would change things, but the opposite has happened. They have doubled-down on the snarky slights. Very interesting.

and pit them against one another. I think the ACC for the most part would dominate. I don’t understand the hate, and it makes me ANGRY ????????.

Clemson is ruining the status quo party and they can’t stand it

Also, they are scared to death of Clemson on the field.

IMHO, it's always about $$$$$. The more add revenue ESPN/print/web media can generate the better.
Look at where the other teams in the top 10 are located: Greater Ohio, Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans, Southeast Texas, Orlando, greater Florida. Big TV markets.
Little old Clemson belongs in the neighborhood because we win! Can't deny the facts.
ESPN is owned by Disney and Hurst. They exist only to make $$$$ for their shareholders.Same for print/web media as well.

Tip of the hat to you to covering just about every possible conspiracy. Wrapping it up with the catch-all "unknown' was also a nice touch.

If Clemson had actually lost to UNC

a team that was able to beat South Carolina, where do you honestly think we'd be ranked?
Would it be worse than losing to Illinois?

Please pass this on to your buddies here. (They won't listen to anyone who doesn't have "Tiger(something)" in their screen name. Here's the message: Relax. Clemson is going undefeated and into the CFP. There is no conspiracy to keep them out. Not with ESPN. Not with Finebaum. Not with the SEC. Not even with the Oprah Winfrey Network. No one "hates" Dabo because he coaches at Clemson. No one hates him because he is a nice guy or least of all, because of his Christian beliefs. The only fanbase who is more paranoid and obsessed than you guys are maybe the Coots, who are now convinced that there is a global consipracy to screw them.

I tend to agree here. While there is validity to any business entity

Creating a story that maintains viewership or customers, I don’t think there is a agenda against Clemson.
In the end, as always, winning will be be the ultimate decision maker.

I think Clemson would not have fallen past 10. UGA lost to SC and fell from 3 to 10 because I think people see it as a fluke. Same if Clemson had lost to NC. No serious person believes NC is remotely as good as Clemson.

No fan base rivals ours as far as ESPN / national media paranoia. I am thinking Oregon will have some of that going on at the end of the year though when they are 12-1 and looking in from the outside because a FR QB got lucky in game 1.

No other reason known because nothing ranks higher than money to corporations. Economic laws are as certain as thermodynamics.

Quit worrying. You sound like these snowflake kids or paranoid old people. Who cares about supposed slights. Not everyone in the world is against you so just stop worrying about it. We’re awesome and win championships. Quit looking for slights and bias. Half of Espn loves us.

ESPN and the media in general is dying to get a playoff with Bama, Ohio St, Oklahoma & UGA for potential matchups between Jalen Hurts & Bama and Justin Fields & UGA. The storylines would mean huge ratings for them. Clemson is old news and a fly in the ointment to that happening.
