I will take that, but how is USC and Auburn ahead of us? Clemson will be and should be a top 10 team.

What a joke-2 8-5, 2 7-6 sec teams are listed as well as 9-4 ol' siss. The sec only plays the so called toughest schedule because of these idiotic polls.

This must be a misprint

There is only one SEC team in the top 5, everyone knows that it is manditory to have 3 SEC teams in the top 5 at all times!

We should be in the top 10...no doubt better than ND, USC and an 8-5 Auburn team.

ranking and up or down a couple of places depending on what conference you are in

Maybe a stretch to happen but you never know. That would put our game against the Cardinals high in the national spotlight and allow for early national exposure.

Anything that brings down SEC rankings and boosts ACC rankings is a positive for our program. We play Louisville in their house... they will be ready. At least if they beat Auburn, we shouldn't have any players at Clemson "sleeping" on them.
I want to see two ACC teams in the playoff eventually. I don't believe our conference is respected enough yet for any one or two loss teams to qualify.
Look at Florida State, they were the only undefeated team and still only in the #3 spot!

least in the top 15 so that you dont have to depend on so many teams losing to climb to the top of the final polls. It also says a lot about the national respect that we deserve.

With how many players we lost, yes I agree.

But we really don't know anything. Tennessee didn't beat anyone impressive last year and now they're a top 25 team?
I hate preseason polls and I think they should be disallowed.

in my opinion, but if we have to have them, I would rather be in the top 15

You're right ... it's all about where you finish.
*but*
Regardless of where we've been ranked pre-season, for the last four years in a row, we've finished at a higher position.
THAT'S important!
That's a case of EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS and it's not something that Clemson fans and the general college football world have traditionally associated with our program.

going to play and who we'll beat.
But it ain't meaningless to who gets on the CFP. Just ask TCU and Baylor.
And look at the votes this year: neither TCU nor Baylor had a shot at Ohio State last year, yet probably deserved one as much as Bama or Oregon.
And now look at the votes this year - everybody's an effin' lemming - acting like OSU is the only game in town.
I personally really don't care who wins it if the Tigers don't - I just want to see the effin' politicians shot and buried out back so everybody - and I mean everybody - gets a real shot at winning the thing
ON THE F***KING FIELD.

I will be surprised if we don't beat FSU, ND and GT. OL play and Watson's health will be critical, but we certainly are very capable of beating everybody we play If those 2 critical factors shine.

If you have an 80% chance of beating each of 3 teams

you have a 50/50 chance of beating all three. Tigernet mangers do not understand basic statistics.

I missed on ND, I was sure they'd be top ten but it looks like the west coast people slipped USC in there instead. USC, lmfao.

Wrong!
They know better but can't seem to remove themselves from such jadedness.
So this year will make it 5 in a row! Everyone should know better by now.

for a preseason poll. Beat Louisville and you will be top 10. It will take going 3-0 with a win against Georgia before we would even get a shot at the top 25.

So - let me get this straight - the expected WINNER of the ACC is not even in the Top Ten???? Coot logic at it's finest.
These fools need to be held accountable for their nonsense.

These clowns did not watch the 2014 bowl game in which MSU beat Baylor, even though senior Bryce Petty threw for 500+ yards in that game. BP was the ONLY reason Baylor was in that game, and he's gone. Geez - do these guys just throw darts at the wall???
