When the national polls came out Sunday afternoon, a lot of Clemson fans were surprised to see the Tigers still ranked No. 2 in the country.
Though their Tigers won a tough game at Texas A&M the night before, some thought they did not look like the No. 2 team in the country, especially after they watched third-ranked Georgia go into Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia and stomp South Carolina.
Granted, Clemson did lose a couple of its first-place votes in the Associated Press Top 25 from the week before, but overall many voters understood what the Tigers accomplished at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas was not an easy task, no matter how bad they looked at times.
