Clemson, huh?

Penn State at 17 - Flirting Clemson at 23 - Harassment

Tom, brother, I get it that you’re looking for clicks here, but you have been a serious Clemson hater for several years now. Where did Clemson hurt you??

Penn St at 17 is totally fine though.

I agree in principle, but still bookmarked just in case

& if Clemson wins Week 1…. ?

Then rank em!

You have Clemson derangement syndrome. Kind of sad to watch. But then again you are a coward of a man and your content is ass

Such a strange hill to die on. 10-15 teams who have never done shit in the top 25 overrated every year. And you’re mad Clemson - who had a sub 9-win season for the first time in 15 years is at 23? Weak-minded Dabo hater

Hey tom bud, if your only case is "last year they were bad and lost a QB who had a bad year" you don't really have a reason. Tigers are the second best top to bottom roster in the ACC. Your Tiger hate is corny and baseless

LSU plays them. That is why they are ranked. For the boost brother.

won the title couple years ago? More like close to a decade

They lose week 1 in Death Valley then they’re out of the coach’s poll. They win, they move up. It’s the coach’s poll in August, you don’t have to cry on camera

The exact reasoning you used in this video could be used against about 5 teams on this list yet you only choose to point out 1. Interesting. Also, last year matters to an extent. It shouldn’t form your opinion in its entirety. Lazy, engagement bait take.

You are a dumbass.

Try pronouncing Clemson correctly there's no z in Clemson

@BudElliott3 ESPN won’t have their first gameday of the year without a ranked vs ranked.

Laziest take out there, Clemson won their conference the season before last, you can say they aren’t what they were but it so lazy to try and act like one bad season merits writing them off completely, we are talking about #23 not a top ten ranking not that big of a deal

Times are tough when you have to hope that “the AP voters do better”. Good luck with that.

@BudElliott3 Getting LSU a ranked win, Tom. And I’m a Clemson fan and biased diehard.

Why do ur nostrils look like that?

Hmmm: When did Finebaum grow a beard and have his jug ears trimmed?

I’m a Clemson fan, this was where I had us. Vizzina isn’t as bad as people are projecting

Hello tom I regret to inform you that we’ve finished the season ranked every year since 2011 until last year ! So odds are high that we will finish the season ranked once again this year! Hope this helps Tom !

It’s so funny how many people are pretending not to know the reason Clemson is ranked going into week one

This aged like fine wine. Well done @TomFornelli. This is a great example of why you are the #1 sports personality.

Who is Tom Fornelli? Honestly, today is the first day I've ever heard of him.

He's the guy you're responding to.

well, I now know who you are

It’s to give lsu a ranked win to open the season. I shouldn’t have to tell you this tom

You don’t know ball Tom. Gives LSU a week one Top 25 win, duh

Who gives a fuck about a pre season ranking , your acting like a Retard

I agree, Clemson stinks! Fornellicators got your six, bruv

Hey tom, everything you just said also applies to LSU and they are ranked 13. What about Mizzou and Tennessee, two teams who didn’t beat a single team with a winning record last year, being ranked?

Don’t think Clemson should be ranked either (20-25 don’t matter anyway), but this guy objectively blows. Epitome of soyface millennial. “Really coaches 🥴 hurr durr did you like… not know any other teams?! 🤓”

Darn you Tom for making totally logical and reasonable points here As a Clemson fan, disappointed going into this season, but if we’re honest with ourselves when it comes to expectations…it’s not super pretty

Is this Feinbaum? Clemson will 9-3 or 10-2. The coaches have them as 3rd best in ACC. Who would you have included?

Worst person in the college football space.

The issue with this is there are about 4 other teams on this list you’re choosing to ignore and singling out the one ranked #23. I don’t think there is a reason to feel strongly about anyone in the 23-30 range. Just an odd hill to die on which is why people are replying.
