sure looks like Dabo is rubbing people the wrong way in the ACC. No block support there. Like I said, it's going to be an interesting offseason for that bunch

If ACC coaches don’t like getting trucked by 45+ points when they play Clemson they should field better teams. This ain’t a popularity contest.

It's really kinda weird...
Not a popularity contest? The hell it isn't.

The polls aren't official, but they do shape the playoff selections quite a bit- you better believe if things didn't match up, people would raise hell.

So the Big 10 vote Ohio State unanimously, and the MAC (which is in Big 10 territory) is the only other conference to not pick LSU overall. That sound a whole lot like politicking.
The Pac 12 and Big 12, and every other group without a dog in the fight, go heavily for LSU.

That's what makes the ACC votes so weird; they either don't care about conference unity (and the benefits thereof), and are voting honestly... or they have a bone to pick with Clemson.
I'm kinda curious which it is.
