Final Thoughts: It was that kind of night in the Fiesta Bowl
A year ago, the media barged into Clemson’s postgame locker room at University of Phoenix Stadium and dealt with the aftermath of the Tigers’ gut-punch of a loss to Alabama in the national title game. Saturday night, the Tigers were in the visitors’ locker room, and the celebrations were far different from the downcast eyes and grim resolve we saw after the loss to Bama. Full Story » |

They have put in the work day after day and no doubt they have the talent to win it all!!!
I believe this is the year we win our 1st Playoff Championship and I believe we will win multiple playoff National Championships over the next 5 years!!!

What idiot would expect Michigan to completely shut down Cook?

Great article David. I'm LOL'ing @ the comment by the Ohio St. writer about Clemson not having seen the type of talent the Buckeyes would put on the field.
That quote, and the outlandish comment by Cowherd about Clemson being a fraud shows that the perception of Clemson and the ACC by outsiders is still flawed. Many still do not give Clemson or the ACC due credit. It makes me wonder if these people actually watch Clemson or the ACC. It would not surprise me if the answer is no in many cases.
And for that writer to tell you to come and see him after Michigan held Cook to “34 yards on 23 carries”, it seems pretty clear that he has overindulged in the Big 10 Kool Aid. I fully expected Florida State to beat Michigan, and have confidence that they could beat a lot of the better teams outside of the ACC.

This was a tough year to win the ACC, as a bunch of experienced teams with good QB play returned...the ACC won 3 out of 4 end of year rival games against the SEC, as Clemson beat Carolina, Georgia Tech beat Georgia, and Florida St. beat Florida...and so far in bowl games the ACC is 8-3 with only Clemson's National Championship game left for the ACC...With only the Natty left, the ACC is 3-1 vs the SEC and 3-1 vs the Big Ten in this year's bowl games...Top to bottom I think this is the toughest I've seen the ACC on a seasonal basis...pretty impressive for Clemson to win the ACC this year^^

Good points. I would add that in winning the ACC, we knocked down several barriers with road wins at Auburn, Georgia Tech, and Florida State. In years past, winning games like those on the road were a real concern.
