Another week closer to the College Football Playoff and Dabo Swinney might want to start working on his Rodney Dangerfield impression; his Clemson Tigers are getting no respect, no respect at all. Clemson fell to 2nd overall in Week 6, then dropped to 3rd in Week 8 and are now 4th. Alabama has looked good and hasn’t gotten into any tight games yet, unlike Clemson in Durham, but this Tigers’ team crushed Bama last season. LSU has had good wins over Texas and their opponents in the SEC. But Ohio State? Really? The Buckeyes have yet to play anyone worthy of a top 25 spot in a top heavy BIG10 - Clemson deserves the benefit of the doubt as the defending champs over the consistently underachieving Buckeyes.
