I haven’t even listened to or watched sports this week, because I’ve forgotten how it feels to lose, and lose big. I knew the crap of Dabo being better than Saban would be spewed everywhere, and quite frankly I didn’t even want to get my BP up listening to it.
Dabo, is a good coach, and Clemson is a fine team, but they have enjoyed the luxury of a weak ACC. The same could probably be said about the SEC, but for the most part over the last 10 years the western division has been tough. Clemson has risen to their glory while having no real rivalry threat during the regular season. FSU and others that used to give them fits, have been shells of their former selves the last few years. Syracuse giving them tight games and beating them has been a mystery to me. I can only figure Syracuse circles that date on their calendars and works all year for that game. Clemson basically has had the luxury of practicing for the big game instead of having to really focus on a lot of their games to play to get there. Just look at that powerhouse matchup they had in the ACCCG.
Every season and every team in the conferences go through cycles, and Bama has proven year in and out to win the tough games even though we suffer injuries to key players, and manage to make it to the finals or the championship. Eventually, the perennial teams in the ACC that used to be good will challenge Clemson and ding them up through the season even if they manage to win those games. Only then will I conceded them to be in the discussion of being on the level of Alabama when it pertains to the level of success.
