Apparently stated we should not be in the playoffs over AM or Florida.
He's been running his mouth for the better part of 3 years since Clemson has won some titles. I'm glad he is because more than likely they're who we will play in round one provided Alabama beats Florida.
Personally even though I want to beat them I hope they lose next week because fuck them.

I can understand him saying that. IF they beat Notre Lame, they are going to have to play us, Florida, or aTm. Of those 3, which one would you not want to play, especially after the fiasco last year where it took the SEC officials in Birmingham handing them the game?

It’s every freaking week with this pulpit preaching asshole. He needs knocked in the damn mouth.
I hate that networks (and Herbie) have been a moutpiece/megaphone for this guy as if his opinion runs college football. He’s one of the worst people in this sport! Corrupt, anti-player, fake southern aw-shucks, holier than thou BS.
Also, points to the fact he doesn’t want OSU in because he knows it’s easier without them. Fuck him.

DABO SWINNEY DOESN'T THINK OHIO STATE SHOULD MAKE THE PLAYOFF, BELIEVES CLEMSON SHOULD BE IN EVEN WITH TWO LOSSES
Here are Dabo's full comments from the show:
"Obviously, that's a tough question to answer in my position because we feel like we're definitely one of the best four teams in the country and there's nothing that's going to happen in that game next week for Clemson or Notre Dame that's going to change that in my opinion. And that's based on data. It's almost like you've got to have 120 hours to get a business degree and yet these people over here only need 60 hours to get a business degree.
"I think any time you step in between the lines, the game of football, there's a lot that can happen — a lot. I mean, heck, in 2017, we lost to a three-win or four-win Syracuse team and still went to the Playoffs. So anything can happen. Guys can get hurt. There's a lot. So I think the fact that we're going to have 11 games as well as the SEC teams – I mean, you look at Florida and Texas A&M and Alabama. I mean, these teams are going to have 11 games this year. It's incredible
"And I think the Big Ten had the same opportunity and they chose not to play, and I think the only reason they ended up playing is because of the leadership of the SEC and the ACC and the Big 12, and have demonstrated that we can do it and do it in a safe way. So it's been an unbelievably challenging season, that's for sure, but I think that the committee's going to have some tough, tough, tough questions to answer and things like that, regardless of what they do.
"Obviously, as coaches, we don't control any of that stuff. So I do think that our team has played incredibly well. We had a double-overtime loss at the No. 2 team in the country now in Notre Dame, who's a great team and an unbelievable game. Again, no matter what happens for Notre Dame or Clemson, nothing changes in my mind, as far as both of these teams being in the top four."
Swinney doesn't just favor Clemson's playoff resume over Ohio State's, however. He also believes the two SEC teams in the top-six – Florida and Texas A&M – are more deserving of a playoff spot than the Buckeyes.
"I wouldn't have an issue with it because, again, it's not my position to have an issue with it. My position is to coach my team, regardless of whoever. I just think there has to be some type of standard. If I was on the committee, it would be hard for me to leave out a 10-1 Texas A&M or an 11-game Florida team over a team that's played six games. That would be hard for me if I was on a committee, but I'm not on the committee. So it doesn't really matter.
"It doesn't mean they're not a great team and couldn't win the whole thing. I just think that there has to be — I just think, from a big-picture standpoint, I would lean toward rewarding the teams that have been all in because it's been an incredible challenge."
Of course, in Swinney's ideal reality, this would put two ACC teams and two SEC teams in the College Football Playoff with the possibility that half the field entered the playoff coming off of a loss.
As it stands, Ohio State is the No. 4 team in the College Football Playoff rankings with an undefeated 5-0 record. The Buckeyes have an opportunity to improve to 6-0 with a win over Northwestern in the Dec. 19 Big Ten Championship game.

More on his statement. I want nothing more than this guy’s demise.
Saban is a cunning, son of a gun but he typically keeps his mouth quiet and sticks to his business first (ala Belichick).

For me, nothing would be more satisfactory than a Buckeye win over this douchebag followed by something finally cracking and forcing him out. Whether that's a personal/personnel scandal, or the NCAA finding a reason to bring out the hammer (hey, a guy can dream, ok), I just want to see his fake ass get run out shamefully.

Darth Saban is a bitter destroyer, and I respect that. He’s not complaining who’s in front of him, he’s busy figuring out how to gut them like a trout. He respects other programs, at least publicly. He doesn’t badmouth players or coaches from other teams.
This fucking guy can’t keep his yapper shut. You can tell he’s a closet Instagram diva wannabe, thinking everyone should care about what brand of TP he uses after he takes a shit.
