In the last 5 years they have been a preseason top 10 team 4 times and a top 5 team 3 times. They never finished with less than 3 losses while playing in the softest conference in football. It is borderline fraud to put them in the top 10. 

 

 Dabo's program hasn't been the same since NIL was legalized and suddenly everyone else could pay recruits too. 😝

Good to see Penn State at #2. Since I'm a current student there (online), have to find a reason to wear my Penn State t-shirt and hoodie. 

James Franklin will make sure they drop to #12 lol. It's been a long long time since PSU took down scUM & tOSU in the same season. Although they ruined CFB with these expanded conferences, maybe they don't have to play either one this year.

I mean 2 natty championships and two runner-ups at a non-blue blood is very impressive 

 

And he was absolutely was the best team when he won it twice and deserve to be there the other times 

 

Cade klubnik is about to have a heck of a season..  even Kirby Smart has only won 2

 

And they are much better than South Carolina... And the ACC is a better football conference than the Big 12 now 

 

 

I tend to think is Clemson is overrated, but I agree the ACC is a bit disrespected. It’s not the SEC, but it’s certainly not the worst. I’ve always thought the Big Ten was overrated. They have some blue bloods, but the second tier isn’t very good. It was Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State with a bunch of bad teams before the west coast schools joined.

I think it's the big 12 honestly 

 

Even before the Big ten expansion schools like Minnesota defend their home dirt... And Iowa is always tough same with Wisconsin at home 

 

I think all those schools have a better brand than Iowa State or Kansas or Texas tech historically 

 

Now if Texas and Oklahoma and Nebraska we're still in the Big 12 it would be a different story

Clemson is the most overrated program in CFB

Imagine how they would be rated if they played decent teams.
