Someone please explain to me the reasoning

On why we wont jump oregon if we win saturday. Espn is saying we solidify our apot at #3. To me beating 2 top 5 teams earns us the #2 spot.

Yeah, I don't get it either. If an SEC team had beaten 2 #5 teams they'd be number one which is where I think we should be if we beat FSU. This is why I don't like the polls. Way too much bias. I'm all for the computers, but they need to be candid about what goes into the equations.

If we win out, we will eventually jump Oregon....

based on strength of Schedule alone.
That's not to suggest Oregon is a bad team or not worthy of their ranking. That's not the case at all.
On the contrary, I firmly believe Oregon is the best team in the country right now but Clemson's more dificult SOS will be the determining factor in the polls.

Disagree, FSU/Clem winner needs either bama or ducks to lose

I think one will...and I think FSU/Clem winner still has challenges ahead themselves, but don't think either jump Bama or Oregon if they win out.
History says there won't be 2 undefeated teams regardless.

We're #3, playing at home, and are a 3-point

underdog. FSU has jumped all the way up to #5 by beating the crap out of everyone they've played (minus BC). We will beat FSU I think, but unless we do it VERY convincingly, we won't go up to #2.
That's just the way it is, and I'm fine with that. Win every game and we WILL be #1.

Agree. The Tigs will have to beat FSU by three or four td's to jump in the polls and that is asking a lot of our team. It's a real challenge to jump Oregon because they are a quality team for sure. Where Clemson may have an edge is the fact that we are on the east coast and get more exposure than Oregon. Their games end well after one am in the east and a lot of folks don't watch them. I certainly don't. In fact, I have never watched an Oregon game, or any other west coast game. How about you guys?

relax. it is what it is. We aren't going to play for a NC unless we go undefeated and OU or AU lose a game. Just like it was in 1981, we needed some teams to lose, and they did.

Man, there's just too much football between now and December

to get angry about people saying that we're ONLY the third best team in the country.
Oregon is great. There's no shame in coaches giving them the nod on the eye test. If we are lucky enough to go undefeated, our strength of schedule might just put us over the top.

ESPN stands for Entertainment and Sports

Programming Network, with an emphasis on ENTERTAINMENT. It's just another 'reality tv' network, where everything is orchestrated for maximum ratings, and hence maximum profit.

because Oregon should be #1

And Alabama isn't moving until they lose because of their track record over the last couple of year. It just isn't going to happen, unless we completely dismantle FSU.

Given a choice, I'd rather play 'Bama than the Ducks......

neither would be an easy game, but Oregon looks scary from time to time

I think maybe they are taking a long view of the BCS and believe with UCLA, Stanford, Washington and maybe USC(if they get their act together) and maybe UCLA in the PAC 12 Championship game that is more impressive than FSU, Georgia, and USuck with maybe Miami or Va Tech for our Championship game.
I tend to think our schedule is better but just barely and most people nationally believe Oregon deserves their chance at Bama so it will be hard for us to turn people's heads without impressive wins against FSU and USuck if you ask me.
