AP vote is meant as a slam at Dabo, imo

No way even with our poor offense is the team with the #2 ranked defense against scoring not in the Top 25.

The team that could have easily lost against BC and Syracuse is a top 25 team? I don’t see it. We have a top 10, maybe top 5 D, but a bottom of the conference Offense.

OP is correct! How many of those other FK'ers in the top 25 have almost loss a game or three.

Agree, I’ve been saying this.
Two close losses to ranked teams but since we aren’t scoring at will we aren’t even top 25?
Bias abound. How many losses would it take for Bama to drop out of top 25? 3? 4?

about coming to Clemson and our ranking out of the top 25 during the regular season in 2021 after the success we’ve had is enough to dissuade them from coming, I stand by my statement.

Plenty of folks think we suck and aren't a top 25 team, including me.
The media doesn't hate Clemson, other fan bases complain that the media kisses our ####.
When you lose and win like we have, the media will have a bad opinion of you, simple really.

you are correct, Bengaline. All 61 Associated Press voters had a zoom chat and decided to "Slam" Dabo. You would have to be a moran not to see this.

For future reference, it’s actually spelled “maroon”. Just hate to have you look silly on the board.

This offense is much more of an indictment of Dabo than anything the AP could ever do.

It’s the same people in the media holding us down that complain when we do things like dance, go on the field after home games, and say Dabo is spinning the “Clemson against the world” narrative when we are winning at an elite level.
Some have been waiting for this moment. I honestly think this year whoever we play it will be a close game. Even a unanimous top ranked team like UGA. I think the fact that we still have talent and two close losses to ranked teams should be enough.
We should have a little street cred built up at this point. Just shows that many have been anti Clemson this past decade or so, especially after the cfp titles.

Well then I hope he finally gets pissed and does something about it and gets this team to a point where they can play some decent football on both sides of the ball.
Ultimately all of this mess we’re going through is on Dabo. And he gets paid a lot of money to fix what is broken.
That said…Go Tigers!!!

I think the AP voters just read Tigermet and decide from here. From what I’ve read more often on here since the UGA loss is that we are terrible, the ugly is about to get uglier, we will be lucky to win 2 more games, we will have to scratch and claw to even make a meaningless bowl game. Now you claim it’s the AP who is disrespecting Dabo??? They are just following Tnets lead.

100% agree it is the “media” and their disdain for Dabo and refusing to rank us. We held UGA to 3 points while everyone else is getting boat raced. CFP pill will probably have us top 15 if we keep winning IMO.

Probably didn't enter their minds. They probably just watched our games or scores and saw how poorly our O is playing. I highly doubt Dabo was a much of a factor or a factor at all.
