Who else knew that despite beating two

top 20 teams in a row wouldn't earn us a ranking? Everyone hates us for no reason. Every team we play is a freakin rival cuz they hate us so much. America wanted alabama to beat us after they'd already won like 3 Natties in a row. It's just kinda pus C

Our losses must not be quality losses like Tennessee’s apparently were.
So even though they have zero wins against ranked teams, it just means more.

Our ranking - or lack thereof - is warranted. The only team with a record as bad as ours is Tennessee. 3 of their losses have been to ranked teams. We lost to NCSU, Duke and Miami - none of which are ranked. That probably hurt our shot at the top 25, the most.

Tennessee lost 4 games? Um Alabama Georgia and FLorida are not quality losses. that's like some retarded oxymoron to feel good about yourself. They're the worse losses. Just like the worst lost to us this year wasn't Duke, it was FSU!

It's the games that mean alot that you can't lose and you shouldn't be patted on the shoulder for losing them either. that also is Puh Z

A simple Google search would show you that yes, Tenn has lost FOUR games this season:

- To unranked Florida.
- To #11 Alabama
- To #14 Missouri
- To #1 UGA

Clemson has lost 4 games this season to:
- unranked Duke
- unranked NCSU
- unranked Miami
- To #5 FSU

This isn't rocket science and the NCAA doesn't hate Clemson.

Let's not go getting rational in the emotional ocean. We are not ranked where we would like to be - it must be because people hate us !

When you lose games, you have no business losing it hurts much worse than when you win against good teams that you should beat anyway.

Smashed and Coots convincingly, smash a bowl up on it and will end up being somewhere just inside the top 25.

I honestly don't care.

In the seasons we deserved to be in the CFP we were included. Whether we're ranked or not at 7-4 doesn't move the needle either way.

I hope we beat South Carolina, losing to them is never a good look. Otherwise, I'm not too concerned.

Then again my personal identity isn't wrapped up in rankings, or what other people think about Clemson, so there's that.

happiness on anything less than the top 5. I was tortured from the time Danny COACH Ford left with the broken heart of hoping for a top 25 ranking and being disappointed 95% of the time.

I'm fine being out of the rankings. We have a first class team and that going unrecognized is top shelf motivation for them.

We've lost 4 games. Of course we aren't ranked.

Although, there's a decent chance we pop back into the very bottom of the CFP rankings tonight.

If one is simply comparing us to Tennessee when it comes to rankings then I would agree that we should be ahead of them due to us having 2 better quality wins, and all of our losses being competitive including an overtime loss to the #4 team. However, I don't think the rankings are due to hate or any sort of agenda. I also don't think the rankings are due to bias due to hate or love for any certain team.

The bias I do blame for it is the type of bias one develops due to what their mind told them about certain teams earlier in the season. Clemson lost to Duke in the 1st game, then struggled in the 1st half against Charleston Southern, lost to FSU in game #4, and eventually ended up with a 4-4 record. At that point the voters were likely not thinking of Clemson any longer and had made up their minds that Clemson wasn't a good team this year.

Tennessee on the other hand started the year off at 5-1, and eventually moved their record to 7-2 which included a "respectful 14 point loss on the road to Alabama." At the same point in the season that voters had written off Clemson, they had already been viewing Tennessee as a top 25 team for much of the season.

It's easier said than done to erase what your mind has already made up that late into a season. Had Tennessee had their losses earlier in the season and also started at 4-4 then they'd likely find themselves in the "others receiving votes" category as well.

I see where you’re going but you can be ranked #1 in that Dec poll and lose the first game to be ranked 3/4 in the final poll, the only one that counts

This is true…the media, “woke left”, NCAA, FBI, CIA, Bojangles (Thanks DJU!1), Paul Finebaum, the $EC, Satan, and the ACC are always constantly conspiring against Clemson!
