Do you think Clemson will be ranked #1 or #2 next Tuesday


Oct 28, 2015, 8:47 AM

in the first poll? (If we beat NC ST of course)

I believe it's 50/50. They look heavily on quality wins and SOS. We have the best win and a good SOS, much better than Baylor/TCU. They also look at game efficiency, which we may be the best.

No way we are worse than #2.

Michigan may take Ohio State out of the picture. I believe they are pretty desperate to beat their rival.

All I hope is Clemson is still undefeated come Saturday night. Rankings will take care of themselves.

Amen, just keep winning 1 at a time. Couldn't care less about rankings right now.

Point for correct wording. "Couldn't care less..."

tOSU hasn't lost since the NCG , so they deserve to be called #1 until they lose ...as it should be .
We will be #2 after another solid win on the road . If we struggle and still win we will stay at 3 or LSU would jump us by beating Alabama handily .

I don't think OSU deserves it yet. Last year doesn't count.***

i agree that you have a sound point


Oct 28, 2015, 1:13 PM [ in reply to Re: I hope so. I still don't understand ]

And many would agree with you. I just feel that you have to take this year solely on its own merit.

I just hope we don't win TOO big. It might hurt our strength


Oct 28, 2015, 9:22 AM

of schedule. If a nother coach is fired, it could cost us a spot in the playoffs.

The argument for OSU is similar to the one for FSU last year


Oct 28, 2015, 9:29 AM

I don't agree with it personally, but it seems to be a fairly common opinion that the previous year's champion should remain #1 until beaten, provided they return enough players off that team.

Based on what i saw from the committee last year though, they are NOT going to have that mentality. The rankings next week will focus strictly on resumes through the first 9 weeks of the season and will not take in account anything that happened last year or expectations for the remainder of this year. Ohio State will NOT be #1, and Baylor won't be regarded as highly yet either as they've beaten nobody of relevance. Provided there are no upsets Clemson and LSU will be 1/2 in some order. Beyond that i really don't know.

The rankings next week will be the first that matter***

GO TIGERS!!


If LSU beats Bama they will


Oct 28, 2015, 4:27 PM [ in reply to The argument for OSU is similar to the one for FSU last year ]

have an equally strong resume. I think we'll come in at #3 or #2. I wonder how much, if at all, they'll consider what the OSU did last year.

Oct 28, 2015, 10:19 AM

Probably #2......logically we should be #1 but there is too much OSU bias for them to put us into the #1 spot. If we destroy FSU and they don't lose anymore games then maybe we get ahead of OSU/Baylor with the voters. OSU is also looking better the past few games....hard to say.....

Bama in two weeks


Oct 28, 2015, 11:39 AM

We might drop a couple or ten spots after beating FSU

im good right where we are.


Oct 28, 2015, 12:01 PM

3 is a good number and it means we are in the playoff, assuming that we win out. That's the only thing that matters to me.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

the committee proved last year that every week matters


Oct 28, 2015, 12:33 PM

it's not the old poll mentality where you come out at 1, 2, 3, or 4 and can't move down as long as you win. Winning in itself is not enough. I do think we come out 1 or 2 next week(if we dominate State)based on how they will look at things-- but if we beat FSU and don't look good against the final 3+ ACC championship, we would be leaving the door open to slip to 3 or 4. Still think we are a lock for the playoff if we win out based on lack of undefeateds at the end of the year. And seeding really makes no difference IMO. In fact not so sure seeding last year wasn't done more to get the teams in the correct locations for draw.

Don't know ... don't care. Ask again after the ACCCG in December. Then it matters.
