i understand Clemson dominated okla two years in a row, one year with Cole Stoudt. your blueblood talking point is based on championships back in the 1950s and 1970s. college football is a lot different now, more competitive programs.

80's & 2000's* congrats on the wins, y'all peaked, Unfortunately, programs like Clemson can't maintain. 2016 was the perfect storm for y'all. Live it up until August, it won't happen again for a long time.

Clemson too high. Lose way too much. Georgia is a little high.

you can't speak to Clemson's roster next year so this is wild guess assertion

I'm not saying they won't be good. But losing Watson and Williams is extremely tough to replace. I would have them around 10-15

lol @ you acting like Bob Stoops will have Oklahoma at a higher level than Dabo will Clemson going forward.

Jesus....You're best coach, Brent Venebles is a Bob Stoops disciple;OU guy. He'll be gone and Dabo won't sniff a title game again until he leaves Clemson for a better program.

If you can't see that you're an idiot.

he left OU b/c of Stoops nepotism with his brother. given Veneables is better than your DCs since he left, how is he a Stoops disciple. OU is typically not good on defense.

what does another program have that CLemson doesn't? The coach is the program.

if he leaves it will be for one or both of these reasons:
another program is willing to pay him crazy Kobe money that Clemson can't or won't match

he wants to go back to the college he played at and his home state of Alabama

i would say our OC was better than Venables this year. defense gave up a lot of points in big games, and usually was due to getting tricked by scheme. i haven't been impressed with Venebles defense against tight ends. every team with a good TE is able to make big plays. lol

it appears that Venebles likes being a DC and he is not looking for head coaching job. but i think Dabo can find replacement DC easily.

it is crazy that Okla fan is talking trash about Clemson, and disrespecting our OCs that put up points on your team two years in a row, one year with Cole Stoudt. That was their first game as OCs. lol

You don't make it to the finals/playoffs 5 times with a bad defense. Defense looked just as good against Auburn as yalls did. And no, Our D wasn't up to OU standards this year.

Consistency for more than 3 years

So SEC top-3: UA, AU, and LSU.. Sounds about right.

ranking texas when they lose several of their best players, including the nation's leading rusher,

Define several. Texas only loses like 3 starters or something like that. Obviously Foreman is a huge loss but other than he and one lineman they didn't lose that much.

The Clemson melt moving forward will be glorious

not understanding why you think Okla is going to be better than Clemson next year. Okla is losing Mixon, the other RB who is the school's most rushing yards, and Westbrook on offense, and your defense wasn't much this year.

in the Auburn game they were without Sean White much of the game, their best passer. Okla's issues have been in the secondary so AUburn couldln't exploit that.

i never been able to understand why Okla fans think their program is so great.
