Dabo Swinney Can’t Stop Taking Shots At Ohio State

Christmas is over and the week of the college football playoff is finally here. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney continues to be asked about Ohio State after disrespecting them on the polls. The Clemson head coach ranked Ohio State No. 11 in his final Coaches’ Poll top 25 ballot. However, the buckeyes finished number three on the final poll and will take on Clemson in the college football playoff semifinal on Friday night. Swinney addressed his ranking during an interview with ESPN and he isn’t done taking shots at Ohio State.

“First of all, my vote don’t mean anything. But it means something to me, you know? It’s my poll. I do it. It creates a stir because we just so happen to be playing Ohio State. It has nothing to do with Ohio State — absolutely zero. You can change the name to Michigan or Georgia or Florida or Tennessee or Nebraska. Anytime you have a top-10 (ranking), it should be that special. This year it’s like really, really, really special and I wanted it to be that way. And so, I wanted to recognize the teams that played nine games or more. And so, if you didn’t play nine games, I just didn’t consider you for the Top 10. That’s why (the Buckeyes) were 11,” Dabo Swinney said.

Dabo Swinney was asked again about his No. 11 ranking during his Sugar Bowl press conference on Monday morning. He was also asked about the reaction to the ranking from Ohio State fans.

“I could probably run for governor in Michigan and have a chance,” Swinney joked.

One thing is for sure: Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers better beat The Ohio State Buckeyes on Friday. You can’t ramble on and on the way Dabo Swinney has about Ohio State not playing enough games and then lose. This game is a must-win for the tigers. Plain and simple. Dabo Swinney will have a lot of backtracking to do if his tigers ultimately lose, so they better get it done.

Ohio State and Clemson are scheduled to play in the Sugar Bowl on Friday night. Kickoff is scheduled for after 8 p.m. E.T. on ESPN.
