Clemson Football: ESPN has completely written off Tigers for no good reason

Clemson football has been completely written off by ESPN

It didn’t take long for the national media- led by ESPN- to turn on the Clemson football team, just barely a day into the month of November.

Though Clemson football has been the No. 1 team all season long and the Tigers have yet to lose a game, ESPN has become the mouthpiece for writing them off, really for no good reason.

ESPN Stats & Info published its latest Playoff Predictor and moved the Tigers down the list of teams with the best chance to win the National Championship.

According to ESPN, Ohio State now has the best chance to win the National Championship (36 percent) followed by Alabama (32 percent). Clemson football is well below those two teams at 15 percent.

If that weren’t enough, ESPN Analyst Kirk Herbstreit released his top teams following this weekend and he now has both Ohio State and Alabama ahead of the Tigers.

Clemson football has done nothing to prove it’s not the best team

The absolute love for the Big Ten by ESPN has been sickening. Ohio State has played two games and is now renowned as the nation’s best team (by a far stretch) despite the fact that both Clemson and Alabama have played triple the amount of games.

Oh, and let’s not forget this fun fact: Ohio State’s opponents are a combined 0-3 on the season.

We need to stop pretending that the Big Ten- or even the SEC, for that matter- is some type of gauntlet. Penn State isn’t a top-25 team. Nebraska is nowhere close to a top-25 team.

Alabama has played its fair share of mediocre teams in its conference, as well.

But yet it’s only Clemson who gets punished.

The Tigers just beat a Boston College team that would compete very evenly and perhaps even beat Penn State without their starting QB in Trevor Lawrence, and yet that’s ground for punishment in the minds of national media.
