my favorite thing about these kind of polls


Feb 2, 2017, 10:45 AM

is we dropped a spot between this poll and the last meaningless poll after non games have been played

It is interesting to me that FSU is again very high in the opinion rankings. Maybe they are. I love playing from an underdog position and The "Crime-a-Noles" do numerically recruit very high. But when will their "over recruiting and under performing" translate to meaningful lowering of these annual lofty predictions?

They have a championship in the last 3 years to go along with high recruiting rankings year in and out. That's where the confidence in "guessing" a preseason ranking comes from.

Over the last 4 years, FSU has gone 47-7 with a National Championship, a 2nd playoff appearance, and an Orange Bowl win over a top 6 Michigan team. Two of their losses during that time have come against a Clemson team that went 28-2 in a two year period.

Their QB is pretty darn awesome


Feb 2, 2017, 11:53 AM [ in reply to Re: FB Update: Clemson ranked in ESPN's Way-Too-Early 2017 Top 25 ]

Their offensive line wasn't that great. Their QB took a ton of hits, all year, and kept on playing like a boss. Did you see our game? I think Wilkins almost killed him one play. He's a warrior. Gotta give credit where credit is due

I agree about Francois being tough as nails. But even nails can wear out if they get hammered enough.

You also have to remember that FSU and Bama play the opening weekend. E$PN is going to rank both as high as they can.

They won a National Championship two years ago without having to play Clemson.

Had they had to have played Clemson Urban would be 0-3

That 2014 Clemson defense (#1 in the nation) would have given OSU all they could handle.

I know. I mean, he's only won 3 NCs.***

Just to repeat what has been said here before - the outside world is not paying attention or they don't want to and don't really know what is happening in Tiger town and what Dabo is building. That is fine with me. Keep the blinders on. We are here to stay.

How is having Clemson ranked at #5 showing that people don't think Clemson is here to stay? A top 5 ranking means they feel Clemson is right in the thick of the title hunt.

All the polls are laughable...never close at season's end...


Feb 2, 2017, 11:33 AM

...just goes to show you that you are just as smart or not smarter than the "experts". The experts probably operate off of hype, emotions and biased perceptions more than your normal college football viewer.

These polls don't matter, but I will say that I'm excited to bet the "under" on Penn St wins next year. They're going to have a ton of hype.

Hope we play them. The Tigers will devour the Kittany Lions.

FSU is ranked so high precisely because we lose DW4


Feb 2, 2017, 12:11 PM

Supposedly a much easier-looking (on the surface) path to the CFP, just because we should be "down."

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

In a "way too early preseason poll"


Feb 2, 2017, 12:18 PM

to be ranked 6th without anyone knowing who the starting qb is going to be is actually about as complimentary as it gets. These polls are useless of course but this is yet even more proof we are a staple top 10 team, year in and year out, regardless of attrition.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Plain Bull$hit - we win the Natty

Plenty of respect. #6 without DW4.***
