Handful of AP voters show serious disrespect to Clemson in latest poll

Despite an impressive start to its season, one of college football's biggest powerhouses was excluded from four voters' top-4 rankings.

Clemson enjoyed another convincing victory on Saturday to solidify its No. 2 ranking in the latest AP Poll. However, there were four voters who excluded the Tigers from their Top-3, according to Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report.

Among them was Steve Batterson who, according to Miller, had Clemson ranked No. 5 overall behind USC.

The Tigers defeated Louisville, 47-21, at Papa John's Stadium on Saturday night. They also beat a top-15 Auburn at home this season and is the only team to beat two top-15 teams this season.

Clemson hasn't experienced anything close to a national championship hangover thus far even after needing to replace former three-year starter and Heisman finalist Deshaun Watson.

Junior Kelly Bryant has been outstanding in the absence of Watson, including a big performance on Saturday that included throwing for 316 yards and a touchdown, as well as 26 yards and two scores on 18 rushing attempts against a solid Louisville defense.

Even without the four votes, Clemson still managed to earn a No. 2 overall ranking on Sunday and doesn't seem to be losing it any time soon.
