Every sports talk show this AM is talking about the UNC game

as the reason for us to be ranked 4 or 5. Nobody is talking about how we are a balanced team with top 5 in both offense and defense and how we are dominating everyone while playing a gazillion players.
It's amazing how many folks are saying Penn State should be ranked ahead of us. Sports media is so biased and corrupt.

I've heard it for about 5 weeks now, and they all talk like we lost! ?? I even heard a couple of them say "after the UNC loss they might not make the playoff with their weak schedule"

Can you quit whining about this PLEASE? You complain about media bias but your orange tinted bias is clearly shining through. Sorry, but up until now we have in no way looked liked the top 1 or 2 teams in America. Dabo never lets us hit the ground running during the first half of the season and we always fall behind perception wise. If we are the best team in the nation, we will rise to the top. No need to continually suck our thumbs and cry about it.

" Sorry, but up until now we have in no way looked liked the top 1 or 2 teams in America." - uh - can you name the teams that have looked better than us? Any of those teams have a longer win streak than us? Just curious about your perspective. I see greatness and resilience, in spite of every team bringing their "A" game at us. CLEMSON is #1 IMO until some team shows up with the ability to beat CLEMSON. So far, the only team I see that can beat CLEMSON is CLEMSON.

i'll take a stab at it.....

First of all, the only win streaks that matter are the ones that teams are on THIS YEAR. We don't like bama or any other "CFB blue bloods" getting the benefit of the doubt b/c of the name on their jersey OR their historical years of performance so why would we think we deserve that??
Secondly, I've always thought rankings should be a healthy combination of resume AND "eye test", granted that's going to differ depending on who you talk to. I understand you "think" Clemson is the best team in the country and i too would like to "think" that as well, but so far we haven't "looked it" over the course of the ENTIRE season. Will we? I assume we will when it's all said and done, but it's not done yet.
1. Ohio State (1 of 3 teams that have 2 wins over current top 25 teams and has DEMOLISHED EVERYBODY, non-FCS opponent win% - .582) 2. LSU (1 of 3 teams that have 2 wins over current top 25 teams and has a "decent" avg margin of victory, non-FCS opponent win% - .576) 3. Penn State (1 of 3 teams that have 2 wins over current top 25 teams and has similar avg margin of victory as LSU, non-FCS opponent win% - .557) 4. Clemson (no current top 25 victories, did have a 1-point victory over a sub .500 team, non-FCS opponent win% - .471) 5. Alabama (no current top 25 victories, Blown out everybody, but their SOR is atrocious as their non-FCS opponent record is .406)
regardless of your orange colored opinion the above is an honest & justifiable assessment of where the college football top 5 stand TODAY

I guess you could say Dabo is whining with your comment? The last four games we definitely have looked liked the #1 team in the nation. It will show if we play like this the rest of the way out and into the playoffs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

didn't Penn State struggle with a 6 - 3 Pitt team at home?
In fact, it's a game Penn State likely loses had Narduzzi not been such a bone head.

They actually struggled (one score game) with Pitt at home, Iowa on the road and Michigan at home. Can’t imagine the chatter if the Tigers played 3 one score games.

Clemson would not be ranked in the top 10. Heck, we're winning games by four and five TD's and still losing votes in the polls.

Why is believing Penn State should be ranked higher than us
Nov 5, 2019, 3:02 PM
|
|
biased and/or corrupt?
If, and it's a big if, we are basing it on this year alone, Penn State likely has a better resume. It's not crazy for some people to think they should be ranked higher. I don't agree, but I can see their point.
And the best part of all this....IT DOESN'T FREAKIN MATTER! It doesn't even matter if the committee has Penn State ahead of us tonight. If we win out, we are in. That's the beauty of all this. They can all say that right now, Bama and LSU and OSU and Penn State should be the top 4. But in several weeks, at least two of those teams will have a loss. And so long as we don't, there is no way we get left out.
I really don't understand why everyone gets so worked up about this over and over again.

I had to stop listening to any college football talk at least two weeks ago. I'm sick of hearing it. I'm just looking forward to all the whining and crying after we are in the top-4 tonight.

However, many of the guys on television already have us in the top 4. Who are the folks who say we should not be there?, just out of curiosity?

Penn State probably should be ranked ahead of us....
Nov 5, 2019, 4:13 PM
|

they have wins over 2 current top 25 teams and their combined non-FCS opponent record is 34-27, compared to no current ranked wins for us and a combined non-FCS opponent record of 33-37.
if they put LSU over us and bama (which they probably should) then they have to put PSU over us & bama b/c you can't justify one and not the other.

Nov 5, 2019, 4:36 PM

we've seen and what teams have done. It'll all work itself out.
Would've thought Clemson DEMOLISHED UNC as well, but we all saw that wasn't the case...........and Penn State is much better than UNC.
