For those AP voters who had us ranked lower than 4th

Go f yourself!
13 at #5 9 at #6 5 at #7 And 2 at #8
Inexcusable for a team in the playoff (ranked #1 mind you) to fall out of the top 4 after a loss to the eventual champs. These voters are a joke!

The AP does give out their own trophy

And, it doesn't have to go to the CFP champ. That team, as all teams have since 1936, would be recognized as the champions of college football.

Where did those voters have Clemson prior to the CFP semi's.
I doubt many of them had us #1. They didn't believe in Clemson before most likely so the loss to Bama was expected.
No need to get worked up. It'll be ok sport.

All but one voter had us #1 or #2 going into the playoff

The one who had us #3 still had enough sense to rank us #4 in his final poll.
These polls do matter some. I mean, we have a graveyard that keeps growing based on polls.

Why should a team be ranked #1 for a new season because they ended the prior season in that spot? Anyone who voted Bama #1 in the preseason turned out to be correct weren't they?

You can see who the jokers are by looking at each voter's ranking here https://collegefootball.ap.org/poll

I respectfully disagree, Three top five finishes in a row and 1 national championship means a lot. Ask a #27th ranked coot if it matters.

One thing is for sure, 4th compared to 5th is meaningless.

I'm not sure who the bigger idiots are: the AP voters who ranked Clemson #8 or the voters that ranked UCF #1. The #8 rankings were from Parrish Alford of the Tupelo Daily Journal and Sam McKewon of the Omaha World Herald. UCF #1 voters include Safid Deen of THE ORLANDO SENTINEL (shocker) and .......Sam McKewon...Looks like Sam get the bonehead AP voter of the year award putting UCF at #1 and Clemson at #8 (he obviously doesn't believe the playoff mean anything)

The polls are dead. Meaningless. Yesterday's news.

Sorry, I'm not trying to slam your post. They are just a conversation piece for preseason and no longer relevant.
