Losing to Syracuse is the equivalent of Alabama losing to Vanderbilt or Arkansas. I'm sure everyone would just forget that.

I think part of it is expectations. People have gotten used to Alabama crushing scrub teams whereas people are used to Clemson finding a way to lose to one occasionally. Thus Clemson sort of gets a pass for it since people are desensitized. Not very fair but subconsciously probably plays a part.
