LOL, yet one more reason besides these not to watch ESPN:
1) The worst non-feature programming of any major television provider 2) The worst commentary during feature programming 3) The worst columnists. Does anyone believe that ANYONE working a beat in ESPN's New York office could hold Gene Sapakoff (who we all love to hate)'s jock? I've had interns write more coherently.
It really is laughable on every level. If we were into analogies, you could say that ESPN is Wal-Mart whereas rational sports discourse is small town business in America. You do the math.
As long as they appeal to the lowest common denominator, they will always publish this type of misleading, agenda-setting garbage.

AP and Coaches polls are real
Jan 14, 2016, 7:02 PM
|

ESPN itself uses AP poll until CFP Poll comes out. CFP poll does not update aftet playoff announced. As for power index, it is not a poll or ranking and nobody proclaims it to be. Clemson finished the seasoon ranked #2 in the nation by all final polls. Wish it was #1, but I'm getting over that. We are the #2 team in the land. Why did tigernet give any pub at all to that nonsense.

Yeah, but they're still presumed to be better than us because Big 12 > ACC. We're such a pee-wee, small-time program that Oklahoma just wasn't motivated when they played us. Heck, I wouldn't have been surprised if they'd rated South Carolina #25, you know, because SEC.
Being a Clemson Tiger means constantly having to tune out media BS. We all know that. It's easy enough to do, on the individual level, but unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem of media bias & vested interests. Because we all know the real harm that results - in sports as in politics, it is often the case that perception becomes reality.

I bet their reasoning behind the worthless diatribe is the early departures for the NFL and players graduating. What THEY still haven't figured out is we just reload. Tigers smoked OK twice and they have more leaving early and Graduating than we do. Typical garbage from ESPN which doesn't mean anything except someone keeps their job. The REAL POLLS all have us at #2. GO TIGERS!!!

Finally, ESPN makes total sense: Alabama, OU, OSU, Ole Miss, and then Clemson. This coming from a corporation that (in salary) pays Kirk Herbstreit, $250,000 per year and Chris Fowler $500,000 per year. Two guys that obviously can't read and can't count from 3 to 16. Herby called Scott, "Hopper" no less than 4 times on one play, while Chris called Leggett, "Scott" on his final TD. The only reason I could see OU ranked that high ahead of Clemson is if FPI stands for "Face Punched In".

We handle Bama on both sides of the ball for 45 to 50 minutes, and they are covering up the #1 slot in power ranking, and we land in 5th for the moment. They will slide us on down the list in the next few days!!!

hack in into the ESPN site. This has to be a joke, if not then this proves what we have known for years, ESecPN is delusional. You could not do this and keep a straight face. CU bet OU by 20.

Don't know where this info came from. Showing only the first two, just to set Tiger fans at ease, here's the final ESPN Power ratings: College Football Power Rankings - Week 16 RANK TEAM / RECORD TRENDING PTS COMMENT 1 AlabamaAlabama 14-1
1 Last Week: 2 325 With Alabama's thrilling 45-40 win over Clemson to take home the program's fourth national title during Nick Saban's nine years with the program, Saban sits as just the second coach to win five national championships. The Tide, usually known for their bruising running style, won a shootout with 335 passing yards and a perfectly timed, Saban smile-inducing onside kick late that gave the Tide the lead for good. Alabama overcame an early loss to Ole Miss to roll through the rest of the season as the nation's best team. 2 ClemsonClemson 14-1
1 Last Week: 1 312 The Tigers have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Yes, the defense had far too many hiccups and breakdowns that resulted in big plays -- and 208 yards from a Bama tight end -- but this team certainly deserved to be in the biggest game of all at season's end. Deshaun Watson showed why he's the nation's best quarterback, throwing for a title game-record 405 yards and four touchdowns in a close defeat, and Clemson went step-for-step with the Crimson Tide on Monday night.

It's pretty obvious. The Index automatically deducts 5 points if you're an ACC team.
