Yes/No? THIS will be the BEST 4-year class in Tiger history?

If this current team wins out including beating South Carolina and winning the Orange Bowl, are they not the best class in Clemson football history?
They will have more total wins than any other class including any 4-year class from the 80s.
They will have two Orange Bowl wins and three bowl wins over top-10 opponents.
They will have suffered no NCAA sanctions and will have some of the top academic results and best graduation rates in the nation.
If they do all this *and* finally get the gamecock monkey off their backs are they not the best of all time??
If not, WHY NOT ??

It's a hard point to disprove ... I'd say yes, best ever.

IF ... they win out including the Orange Bowl, they'll have 42 wins.
Part of me wants to say no because of the struggles with SCAR, but then I remember that this is also the very peak of gamecock football as well and no other group of Clemson seniors has faced south carolina teams nearly this good.

some good years for the Gamecocks. Even I, who once said in public "I hope the USuC team plane crashes like Marshall," can admit that.
