Proof ESPN hates us....

http://espn.go.com/college-football/powerrankings
They have us ranked higher than all the other polls, true... but they have us one single point behind 1st place. ESPN is trying to destroy Clemson. They have an agenda to humiliate us. And don't spout off about them having us ranked ahead of the entire SEC, and the fact that thy have two Big 10 and 2 Big 12 teams ranked ahead of Alabama... they are single-handedly propping up the SEC and single-handedly destroying any respect for Clemson.
And I don't care that ESPN now refuses to even print the word Clemosning.... they still hate us and are against us. Anyone who can't see the obvious conspiracy is a sheep.

It's the only way. ESPN is a purely evil institution.

They know that the only way for them to make lots of money is to choose a single conference and arbitrarily support it and trying to trash all the others. Plus ESPN's leadership are all Gamecock fans and are obsessed with tearing us down.

some radical adjustment. This SEC pimping is costing them ratings, and their weak attempts at defending them are falling on deaf, angry ears. There may be more SEC fans than any other conference, but the total "non-SEC" fanbase (all other NCAA programs) dwarfs the total SEC fanbase. That, and the PC agenda they are driving hard are turning TV sets to other places.
They laid off 300 people this week partially due to this.

giving 50%+ of the positive press and hype to 14 of 128 teams.
So 110 teams get the leftovers. Only so much room to go around.
You can choose not to see it if you want, and that's OK; but that doesn't mean it's not there, and that no one else recognizes it.

How much of the SEC hype has to do with the
Oct 25, 2015, 5:03 PM

fact that they won 6 national championships in a row?
Also do you think the fact that people in the South have more interest in college football may have anything to do with that?
Also, is it a media-wide conspiracy because the Harris poll, the AP poll, the Coaches Poll and computer polls have all given an edge to SEC teams lately?
I think many Clemson fans are ultra sensitive to this because SCAR has used the SEC crutch in years past. If Clemson was in the SEC then Clemson fans would all think that our in conference schedule was more difficult which meant that we thought consideration should be given to degree of difficulty when ranking teams.
This whole "agenda" thing is paranoid and bad detective work. The SEC hype followed performance on the field. Now it's going away as the SEC is less dominant.

> fact that they won 6 national championships in a row?
How much does the fact that the SEC won 6 national championships in a row have to do with the fact that espn pumped them, and voters, and thus computers responded in allowing them to be in title games they had no business being in?
Bama last year proves that if there were a playoff this whole time, that the least likely of opponents to win it all, would often win it all bc of the undeserving, yet hyped and top 2 teams (bcs) would have to face the (less profitable but) better teams hardly mentioned or excused away for one reason or another that fit the agenda?

So you think ONE year of bama losing g in the playoffs proves that the sec was never deserving of the 7 straight national titles they won?

I just heard Mark May say Clemson###. Could we just all agree that this word is offensive. I don't care what the scenario is, there is no way they should ever again use that disgusting word. They made up that word out of bias and now they throw it around nonchalantly. I for one would feel better if I never read or heard that phrase again.
