I don't know about Ohio State, but Alabama is definitely better than Clemson by what I saw yesterday. I expect Clemson to fall to #2 in the AP and Coaches Poll, and deservedly so. Maybe Clemson needs to get back on the ROY Bus so Dabo can motivate these guys to play the ball that they are capable of playing, or Clemson will fall to 3-1 next Saturday.

That is interesting logic that you have there. Please tell me how Alabama is much better than Clemson!
Alabama is Alabama- always a good team, no doubt, but head and shoulders above Clemson- I think not. Granted their games have been daunting to date- MIZ. and an overrated Texas A&M.

Missouri team in their first game, only outgaining Missouri's offense by 92 yards. Bama had 414 yards of total offense to Missouri's 322 yards of offense.
Bama gave up 450 yards of offense to Texas A&M. Bama had 544 total yards of offense.
A&M's offense is struggling this year. They only beat Vandy 17-12.

We Knew It Would Happen. It Don't Matter

This doesn't matter. Forget it. Don't lose sleep over it.
Same old carousel - the SEC is so highly regarded is step 1. Step 2. is they play each other. Step 3. even if they lose it was a quality loss or win. Step 4. SEC teams stay ranked even if they look like rubbish. Step 5. Have dumb voters not recognize the hypocrisy in all that.
The ACC as a whole - yeah - not good! But, the ACC does have 2 separate schools to have played for championships and won championships SINCE 2010. The Big 10 can't say that. The Pac 12 can't say that. Neither can the Big 12. Perception is reality and right now - the ACC has a bad perception! UVA had a ton of players out vs. Florida and I thought they hung around and had a chance late in that bowl game. Missing all those key players. UVA isn't deep like Florida - keep that in mind and frame it right. They hung with them despite missing key folks. How? If UVA is a bad team? They aren't!
The playoffs don't start for another few months. Oh well!

Any ranking that includes teams that haven't played yet is a joke.
Bama looks like Bama, just plug and play.
Personally, I think we held back some things for Miami.

Somebody tell the ESPN maroons that we're now entering week 6 of the season and pre season rankings are ancient history.

These rankings are useless. How can you rank teams that have not even played. Only ranking that matters is CFP.

Granted, the Tigers did not play their best game and still won by 18. Having OSU ahead of Clemson is just plain dumb.

To be clear Virginia would win the SEC if they played a full schedule

Hard to argue we shouldn't fall when we sleepwalk through a game. I guarantee you the coaches aren't happy with our performance so why should we get upset when we fall one spot? Its not like we fell out of the top 10.

Oh I'm sure that nobody on our coaching staff is happy about what seemed to be a lack of interest against UVA. I would also bet that not a one of them cares about what ESECPN has to say about our performance. In practice today, all players will understand the true feelings of their coaches of how they played against UVA. I know that I wouldn't want to be in a meeting room facing Dabo, and his way with words, not today anyway!!!!
