Reading an article in Bleacher Report

by Greg Wallace highlighting the 12 undefeated teams and the chances of those 12 teams remaining undefeated through seasons end. He went to great pains to address these undefeated teams conference by conference, including the MAC and AAC. The one school/conference completely left out of his article? Yes, you guessed it Clemson/ACC. It would be funny if it weren't so blatantly pathetic and journalistically unprofessional. No, I'm not wearing a "tin foil hat" but I do wonder, why leave one team out? Why Clemson? Can you imagine for one second not including Ohio State in an article about undefeated teams or God forbid, LSU? I had a psychology professor that used to say " Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you." It's past the point of reason to just dismiss it like it doesn't matter because it should. No other fanbase, despite much evidence to the contrary, has their school being mocked and trivialized with a term that is so overused and unfair that it's mere mention has to be completely on purpose. What makes pundents and writers in the mainstream media to have such overt and systematic disdain for Clemson? I am not normally a conspiracy theorist but some things are just too obvious to conclude otherwise. Why does the mere thought of Clemson contending for a playoff spot evoke such a contempt? Sure, in a fair, rational and objective world an undefeated Clemson should be included in the playoff discussion but this isn't fair by a long shot. I suspect we are witnessing the ground work being laid to minimize our accomplishments only to maximize others, case in point ND's loss to us is more impressive that our win over ND...what? When the situation you find yourself in is so bazaar, you start believing in hidden agendas then, it's time to accept that If Clemson does happen to stumble, we will all hear a huge collective sigh of relief from our detractors and we will never hear the end of the "c-word " ever again. What a total lack of respect! Go Tigers, prove them all wrong!

Editor's preface. This is what a post should look like if you expect everybody to read it.

Editor's Note. Being the resident acclaimed conspiracy theorist, acknowledged and recognized by all, I'm glad somebody else has taken up the burden of the mantle.
