I know. Everybody underestimated him. Even LSU didn't want him but the players begged the administration to keep him on after firing Les Miles. But I think most know that.
He's definitely in the right place. He speaks Cajun French to h.s. recruits' parents that are from the bayou.

Yup. And they have completely annihilated every single mediocre team they have faced, as they should. They are consistently playing very good football. They will get a top-tier test in Penn State, have to handle the Big 10 Championship, and then they're right there with the top dogs. They are a great team, regardless. I do agree that they shouldn't be #1 at the moment though. They need to beat Penn State first to even be considered the best, then that will all get sorted out in the Playoff.
But you know they will be in the top four in the end, all they got to do is take care of business while those in front of them play each other
In effect, you validated my point, if the same Clemson team had started out in the polls as say number twelve, even if undefeated they would never make the four team playoff, no team would
Except that there have never been four undefeated teams in the playoff. It's rare to have two. If you go undefeated during the regular season you will be in the Playoff regardless of where you are ranked pre-season (caveat: you are in a Power 5 conference). Additionally it's the Playoff rankings that came out last week that determine the playoffs. Pre-season rankings mean nothing to them.
Clemson dropped from #1 because even though they've been winning they haven't played particularly well. Teams move in the polls based on performance.
Can you offer an example of a Power 5 team that went undefeated and didn't make the playoff?
Ultimately only four teams make the Playoff. So in theory if there were 5 undefeated teams in a season one undefeated team would be left out. But there's no guarantee that would be the one ranked the lowest in the preseason.
