Clemson Out of Initial Playoff Rankings? CBS Sports Thinks So!
Hold up, Tigers fans! It seems like CBS Sports is throwing some cold water on Clemson's playoff hopes early on. In their initial College Football Playoff rankings, they've left Clemson completely out of the top 25. Ouch!
Let's be real – this is a pretty big surprise, considering Clemson's historical dominance in college football. They've been a fixture in the playoffs for years, so seeing them left out of the initial rankings is a shocker.
But wait, there's more! The article goes on to say that Clemson's lack of wins against top-ranked opponents is a big factor in their exclusion. That's a bit of a bummer, but it's true – Clemson hasn't faced a whole lot of top competition so far this season.
The good news? Clemson still has plenty of time to make a statement. They've got some big games coming up against tough opponents, and they'll need to win those games if they want to climb back into playoff contention.
It's a long season, folks, and anything can happen. So don't give up on the Tigers just yet! They've got the talent and the experience to make a run for it. Let's see what they can do in the coming weeks.
But hey, maybe CBS Sports just knows something we don't? Maybe they're seeing something in the future that we can't quite grasp yet. It's definitely a situation to watch, that's for sure!
