"Top-5 Tigers down six top-30 teams in final CBS 130 rank"

Sorry, but this headline is very confusing. Anyone agree?

Agree, I had to re-read the headline several times

It isn't really important in the grand scheme of things, but I don't understand the love for Oklahoma, let alone UCF.

That said, 2017 is history. The season turned out better (for me) than expected.

Clemson should enter 2018 with the best odds to make the CFP. It's hard to pick a game we would not be favored to win.

Just knowing how well our coaching staff prepares, and creates depth? We'll be loaded.

yep.. but when you read it it's rather impressive. Beating 8 of the top 40 in one season ? Wow

I agree. It's certainly one of the most impressive #4 finishes in college football history. Tigers were really good this year, the playoff notwithstanding.

#4 in the AP, that is.

We certainly over-achieved this year by all measures.

And in doing so, we "raised the bar" from fairly modest pre-season expectations of 8-4 to 9-2 ... to ... We're still the best team in the entire country.

And we won 12 games and the ACC title and got to the CFP again with what was largely believed to be a re-building year.

As a Clemson fan, I felt extremely good about the entire season and I totally believe Dabo's statement that the best is yet to come.
