2016 Final Poll

[Dizzyphil]

The final AP poll for this year. The Irish, of course, are no where to be seen. I am hopeful for a better 2017, I don't think/believe/hope it could be any worse than this year.

But anyway, here is the final AP Poll.... any thoughts? Anybody think a team should move up/down/out/missing???

1. Clemson (3)
2. Alabama (1)
3. USC (9)
4. Washington
5. Oklahoma (7)
6. Ohio State (2)
7. Penn State (5)
8. Florida State (10)
9. Wisconsin (8)
10. Michigan (6)
11. Oklahoma State (13)
12. Stanford (16)
13. LSU (19)
14. Florida (20)
15. Western Michigan (12)
16. Virginia Tech (18)
17. Colorado (11)

Fox Sports does not have the Irish in the top 25

Our preseason top 25 for the 2017 college football season

No way Clemson is top 5. Not with their QB who was their whole offense gone.

But the great Hunter Johnson will be there!

Top 5 is maybe too high, but dismissing a Dabo Swinney coached team that is stocked with talent would be a fatal error.

Agree, he has a ton of talent coming back.

My FB is riddled with 'The Pick Play' to win the game. I don't type or respond to any of them because their posts are entertainment enough.
