re: Colin Cowherd on Clemson: Best Team / Best Program

Oh, come on.

Clemson absolutely beat the shite out of us in January. There's no reason to sugar coat it or be defensive about it. They absolutely were the best team in the country last year. Was that perhaps due in part to our injury situation? Sure. But our secondary absolutely sucked arse last year. As the other poster said, they were the best team and program for 2018. Can they sustain it? Who knows. But they have certainly proven to be our equal for the last four years. After this year, one team will be ahead of the other. Hopefully it's us.

And they played a SoS that was basically worse than what teams like Boise St, Utah and TCU played back in the day. Their SoS was #100 out of 130 teams going into the playoffs.

Those teams often times would come up for a single game while playing nobody else the rest of the year.

Clemson played a team in their conference championship who was 7-5 at the time and ended up 7-7 on the year.

Their toughest game was Texas A&M, a common opponent with Alabama and like the 4th or 5th toughest opponent for Alabama? And they needed the refs to win that game.

I have no issue with them beating us last year, they did so fair and square. But calling them the best program is total bullshite, as is people who act like their 15-0 is the same as what ANY other P5 would have had to go through to finish 15-0. It wasn't.

And because we played tougher teams with good defenses like Miss St, they were able to find ways to exploit Tua and the Alabama offense. Meanwhile, Alabama was given basically nothing of substance in beating them because they didn't play anyone.

shite like that makes a difference and yet people want to act like it doesn't. I get it when people just want to troll Alabama fans, but I don't get it when Alabama fans go along with it.

Their schedule was so bad it almost justified UCF's arguments.

Just because they won a football game doesn't mean I have to up and accept a bunch of bullshite along with it. If they want the title of best program, then they damn well better earn it. Otherwise I'm going to point these things out.

If being national champions ain't good enough for people, then tough shite as far as I'm concerned. frick Dabo and frick Clemson, I don't owe them a damn thing.

To be honest, Ohio St did a better job of handling Alabama. The Clemson game was closer than the score looked and Tua was the QB that actually made the best plays(but unfortunately the worst as well). Ohio St actually put the beat down on Alabama and we could not stop them. And as much as I hate Ohio St, they are twice the program Clemson is.
