Simple. Undefeated defending national Champs get to be #1 until knocked off. And the entire sec sucks behind them.

Plausible reasoning and accurate answer, especially as to the second part of your response. +1

I have one ? for Herbie, why has he followed the AP when they had Clemson #4, #3, and then he jumped in with the playoff committee when they ranked us #2. It seems to be that his opinion of us is what the AP said, then he jumped on ship with the playoff committee with their first ranking. Did he ever have his own personal opinion of what he believed Clemson was, other than what the AP said, or what the committee said?

C'mon man. AP is best source until CFP comes out...

Of course that's the way it works. Duh

I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.


He had us #2 prior to release of rankings and picked us to

win the championship. He's been a consistent Clemson supporter and show less bias than most of the media. I like Herbie.

I agree. He had good things to say about clemson on gameday yesterday. He has stated before he''d like his kids to go to clemson.

This! I think he is a call it like he sees it guy, and he certainly has shown us some respect over the last couple of years. I see him as one of the good guys, for sure.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He put us at #2 last weekend before rankings came out


Nov 7, 2016, 11:49 AM [ in reply to Re: FB Update: Herbstreit has Clemson in his Top 4 Playoff Rankings ]

Right after he saw us beat FSU they showed his top 4 and it said Michigan in front of Clemson. After the game he clarified that the graphic was incorrect and he has Clemson at #2. This was the Saturday before the CFP came out with their rankings on Tuesday.

I seem to remember the same thing.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think some of you try too hard to find anti-Clemson bias


Nov 7, 2016, 8:36 PM [ in reply to Re: FB Update: Herbstreit has Clemson in his Top 4 Playoff Rankings ]

Herbie has been saying all year that we are the most talented team in the country, and he picked us to win it all prior to the season.

Two weeks ago before the committee rankings came out, we had yet to play FSU. After beating them in Tallahassee he moved us up to number 2.

He plainly says that while he thinks we are the most talented, he believes Bama deserves the number 1 ranking because of their resume and how they have played this year. Any honest Clemson fan would admit that overall Bama has been more consistently dominant than we have this year.

Also, prior to the FSU win, Michigan's resume was much more comparable to ours. After we beat FSU, that pushed us ahead of them. The committee is on record saying basically the same thing.

Go take a look at the message boards of Louisville, Nebraska, West Virginia, and amazingly even Ohio State; each fanbase believes in a false reality that ESPN hates them and is trying to hold them down. Many other ACC fans strongly believe that there is a pro-Clemson bias at ESPN. The wildest conspiracy theory out there is among a contingent of SEC fans that think ESPN has an anti-SEC bias.

All of their boards have a group of posters that sound a lot like many people on this board sound like today, and even more so a couple years ago.

There was a clear lack of Clemson coverage and respect in the past, but that has changed for the past two years for the majority of commentators and analysts.

There's no defense for some of the idiots though..... I'm looking mostly at you Mark May.

Herbie is the man!

Herbstreit is usually spot on with his analysis. I agree with him completely and glad we have him on our side. Right where we should ranked
