4. Joel Klatt’s original ranking

One analyst who has had certainly had bad blood with Clemson football fans for the majority of this season is Joel Klatt.

While Klatt has been much more complimentary of Clemson football as of late, he was hard on the Tigers early on.

During Week 7 of the College Football season- the Tigers were undefeated- Klatt released his top-10. Here’s a look at the top-7:

  1. Ohio State
  2. LSU
  3. Alabama
  4. Oklahoma
  5. Wisconsin
  6. Penn State
  7. Clemson

The Tigers were ranked behind the likes of Penn State, Wisconsin and Alabama- all of which would go on to lose multiple times. Not to mention Oklahoma, which would lose a couple of weeks after these rankings.

It seemed silly at the time, but is even worse looking back at it now.
