bretticus33 4 Still a very good defense, I think offensive woes were caused in large part by UGA defense and offense should start looking great soon.

steelcitygator 4 Told you I value who you played. Clearly a team that has an OL problem. But, with most of the nation showing apathy towards good offense, they still seem like a clear top team. Close loss to a top team won't ever hurt you too much, especially in Week 1. Certainly are leaving little room for error though.

ninetimesoutaten 5 Defense was spectacular. The offensive line is a huge concern and has been for years. Clemson has got to find balance on offense , it cannot be a pass only team and compete with Alabama, Ohio State, and Oklahoma.

RavenclawWiz816 5 Clemson is below Oklahoma mainly because they lost, but how they lost also plays a major part. While Clemson's D was able to shut down JT Daniels, DJ and Clemson's offense was unable to get anything going offensively. While I've already mentioned that I'll wait to write their offense off until they struggle against defenses worse than Georgia's, it was still a poor performance that hurts Clemson's CFP chances, especially with how the other ACC teams performed this week. I will say though that putting them below 5 would be hyperbolic because I doubt A&M, Cincinnati, or USC would do any better than Clemson did against Georgia.

Charlemagne42 6 This is the top of the Slide. Little did Dabo know, installing a playground slide in his practice facility would one day lead to a slide down the rankings. Slowly. Steadily. But never stopping. At least, that's what CFB fans who are sick of seeing him embarrass himself on TV are thinking to themselves.

HanSoIoque 6 Absolutely atrocious offense against Georgia. I'm not confident that they completely run the table on the rest of their schedule. Defense was solid, but Georgia's offense was also lacking.

jchall3 6 It was ugly. Cant say it any other way. The 3 year honeymoon with T Lawrence is over. Highly suspect O-line puts Clemson at the bottom of the top tier of CFB. However they still have plenty of time to hone their skill so long as they avoid more offensive stumbles.

woakley 6 Clemson clearly still has the talent to compete, and they'll get better as the season goes along, but man they need to improve offensively. I still don't think they'll have an issue getting through the ACC.

NyquillusDillwad20 7 Clemson's defense was outstanding. Unfortunately, their offensive line and QB play were underwhelming. In a bad ACC, they can't afford another loss.

owlalwaysloveyew 7 Clemson played Georgia close, but couldn't get the offense going. Their next two weeks should be a breeze before facing NC State and Boston College.

DarkLegend64 8 B Tier. Their OL is a hot pile of poo. Luckily for them, they won't face another team anywhere close to as good as Georgia for the rest of the remainder of the regular season. Or maybe it's unlucky as that also means they won't be able to get any good resume boosting wins either.

LeWoofle 8 This one is controversial; theres plenty of people who feel like this is too low, plenty of people who feel like they shouldnt be ranked until they win. I polled several friends to see how they feel about Clemson and they overwhelming answer, which i agree with: Its week 1, this is gonna change drastically throughout the season, dont worry. This is a prime example of poll inertia though. Without knowing anything about any teams coming into the season, theres NO WAY Clemson should be ranked after a loss; the real truth though is that Clemson is still most likely a top 5 team, and DEFINITELY a top 10 team.
