The problem here is that you're going by final rankings. These games are scheduled well in advance. If someone told you that the OOC schedule over the space of a few years had PSU (X2), FSU (X2), Clemson, Michigan, WVU, and VT, you'd think that was a great lineup against really good programs. Nobody can predict that any of them will have a bad(ish) year during that exact season. The fault here lies not in the team but in the stars. While the fact that they did have poor showings isn't up for debate, the assignation of blame/motives for the schedule certainly is.
