FPI rather than rankings is all (they mention they'd rank Clemson as high as #1 in the article).

As high as no 1? That is like the kiss of death. I hope we're never actually ranked no 1 until the end of the season.

I'd also rather be ranked no higher than #2, but this year's team, coaches, experience (#1 in the sport), travel & schedule make it tough to escape how likely they'll be an elite-level group this season outright.

Being an old Raider fan I will just quote Al Davis and Dabo . . .

"Just Win Baby" and "The fun is in the winning"

Let's Go TIGERS!

Who cares what ESPN thinks. I actually like it better when they disrespect Clemson, makes it sweeter when we win and show them on the field how wrong they were.

ROY Bus is running...

But they said otherwise?

In the article they explicitly defend & praise Clemson though & cite why this FPI list is uniquely weird.

Good. I like being the underdog.***

FPI, not ranking

It's FPI, though?

I think FPI is interesting, but even the writer of the cited article agrees this FPI number isn't the same as what they'd rank Clemson.

And so it begins.

Got to inflate the preseason rankings for the SEC so they're always beating or losing to a "good" team.

Inflate? But it's FPI?

They've ranked Clemson higher & more often this preseason than anyone else to-date (including in this article explaining the difference between FPI & rankings).

It's gonna be a fun year, really just want us to enjoy it.

Thats pretty good. Id put us around 14ish.***

Based on what? We finished last year 16th and should be A LOT better in 25.
