bretticus733 5 Clemson came back against a good Syracuse team with their defense suffocating the Orange in the 2nd half and allowing just 14 offensive points on the day. The running game took over in the 2nd half, but there’s still a QB problem in Clemson after all. DJU was pulled for Klubnik yet again and while Dabo keeps insisting DJU is the starter, how many times can he keep pulling DJU before just benching him entirely?

ikindalikelemons 6 Needing a couple ticky tack calls in addition to a Syracuse meltdown to win at home isn't the greatest recipe for success, but they are still undefeated and the defense is stout. The coaching staff has GOT to figure out the QB situation though before I trust them.

skuhlke 1 Clemson is likely ranked so high because they have yet to have a bye week. The model seems to punish teams that don't play a game. In the end, all teams will have a bye, so it will all work out.

Due_Connection179 4 Last Week #4 vs #14 Syracuse won 27-21. After benching D.J. during the 3rd quarter (while down 21-10), Clemson did what they should've done all year and ran the ball. The backup who came in only threw 4 passes (while down 11pts), yet with that elite run game & elite defense Clemson came back for the narrow win at home. This Week is a Bye Week.

JetoGrov 4 The win over Cuse wasn't pretty, but that in addition to a win over Wake, an easy win over FSU, and a win over NC State (when they were good!!!) give Clemson their #4 ranking

bruhstevenson 5 ( - ) Clemson escapes with a victory over Syracuse after having to bench DJ Uiagaleilei. This now begins a quarterback controversy, and Clemson didn’t look particularly impressive, but a ranked comeback win is still a ranked comeback win.

Dawg-Bite 5 I value ranked wins and resume, and if anyone has Clemson I’m the top 4 I wouldn’t argue, but they slip down because of Ohio State moving up. Also, they don’t necessarily look like an elite playoff caliber team (even though they likely will make the playoff).

BuckNuts937 9 This is a harsh ranking for Clemson as compared to the AP poll. Their defense appears to be just good enough to compete for a championship but thier offense has sputtered. I have never believed in DJ's arm and they rely on his dual threat capabilities to open up the passing game. Stop DJ from running, and you stop the Clemson Offense. They remind me of the Buckeyes under JT Barrett. They will only be successfull in the post season if Klubnik is the starter.
