ole miss just flat got spanked by a really good team. Based on that performance, TCU can hang with anybody I think. Their uptempo offense is the fastest I’ve ever seen. They were set and ready to go as the ref was spotting the ball. That gets even the best of defenses on their heels in short order. Just flat out impressive. I wonder if Chad Kelly enjoyed watching it?
Swag could have lost a lot of money like Fritz likely just did if Swag’s bail bonds weren’t too steep.
You would have to be a fool to take Ole Miss in that game. The only surprise about TCU winning that game was how dominant they were.
This year Clemson’s body of work is a top 25 team. If Watson played the whole year and stayed healthy, top 10 team. Without Watson Clemson is an average ACC team.
I agree. Body of work= top 25. Current level= top 15, though. Should be around 15 preseason I would think. Will probably have 5 SEC West teams ahead of us and be ranked 22nd though.
Clemson had the opportunity to show they could compete with upper tier programs this year. You failed. You lost your two big games and only beat average teams this year. You want the ranking, go out there and beat FSU and compete with Georgia.
You do realize that if we had done what you say, it wouldn’t be a matter of top 15- it’d be a matter of top 5. We aren’t there yet. We don’t have the talent on offensive line to do more than “hang with” a top 5 team and knock them off occasionally when they’re missing their QB or something.
This was a rebuilding year for offense, and it showed in those games we lost. We couldn’t make plays when they were need
It’s unfortunate the two big games were very early and both on the road. With a healthy deshaun watson, and just a few games experience, and our defense, clemson could beat anybody.
Ok, just finished watching the outback bowl. Auburn gave Alabama all they could handle in the iron bowl. Ohio St beat Wisconsin 59-0 in the Big 10 championship game. Does anyone else think Alabama is going to get blasted?
I think Wisconsin tool a dive in their championship to let Ohio state have the chance to get in the playoff. Alabama isn’t playing Oklahomo in the nobody cares bowl this year. They will come to play.
