The Reality is that we have lost to FSU and USuc two yrs in a row, teams that won 12 & 14, 11 & 11 games the last two years. (i.e. they don't lose much.) Yes, we coulda/woulda/shoulda against the coots in 12 and 13, but we didn't. We haven't lost to an unranked opponent since Nov 2011 at NCst when we had sewn up the Atl div and had several key players out. (Sammy, Martavis, and Price at LT)
Our 2015 recruiting class is currently ranked #2. I don't put too much stock in that ranking but that is a good indication that we ain't bringing in scrubs. Plus the freshmen on this team look really good so far.
This glass is more than half full, stop focusing on the little bit of air at the top.
And please, all you new to Clemson football, look at where we were from 1992 to 2008. Mostly irrelevant with a bunch of satisfying, yet not-noteworthy-on-the-national-stage wins over usuc.
