I'm not alone in saying if you mixed one of those with Baylor's or TCU's QB and WRs you could add them to this list. "Clemson and Ohio State are college football's only complete teams..." http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2015/10/26/9614608/ncaa-football-rankings-clemson-ohio-state

isn't it?

I keep going back to the '81 season over and over in my mind, and how virtually the entire Clemson Nation was both stunned and cautious as that season progressed.

I don't recall anyone resorting to bodacious braggadocio, as we believed any and every game could be a trap. Thus, each win was highly celebrated. Additionally, a lot of luck went our way, as higher ranked teams were upset, eventually landing us in the #1 ranking.

Even then, few expected us to defeat Nebraska...even most Clemson folks remained skeptical...until that fateful day in Miami.

I continue to remain overtly cautious, preferring to approach one game at a time, while avoiding being overtaken with hype. We win one game...we go on to the next. We'll see where we stand at season's end.

I will admit: IF...and that's a BIG IF, we remain undefeated, I believe we will be one of the four. And based upon current contenders, I believe Clemson could give any of them a run for the money.

As for this moment, it's GO TIGERS! BEAT THE WOLFPACK!

My Deer Friend,

Good morning, sir. There's something special about waking up each morning and...well, just waking up, I reckon.

I presume nothing. I insist that Bama and LSU are incomplete offense. I think both would struggle with a good defense and suppose we'll see when they play each other.

I've watched a couple of OSU's games and all of ours more than once. I agree with the writer. Of all the teams that I've watched this season Clemson and OSU appear to be capable of handling most offense fairly well. They are also the most balanced on offense so I expect both will finish the season strong. No other team has show those characteristics at this point.

When we beat ND many here called for an undefeated season. I understand their enthusiasm but I agree with you. While I think we are the better team than any on our schedule, imo, I remember that the ball isn't round. I have resisted prematurely claiming a NC because I think one loss doesn't ruin a good season. It's football and undefeated seasons are rare and precious.

I'm glad you woke up this morning too.
