Darn right Clemson is recruiting at a very high level in recent years.

But, somewhat like Wake, we beat a bunch of teams starting 2012 through 2016 that, over the previous 4 year recruiting period, had noticeably out-recruited us.

OH State: White meat chicken to us, even though their cumulative recruiting ranking from 2008 to 2016 was better than ours.

Oklahoma: Banana pudding to us, even though their cumulative recruiting ranking from 2008 to 2016 was better than ours.

N.Dame: Cup of hot cocoa to us, even though their cumulative recruiting ranking from 2008 to 2016 was better than ours.

Bama: OK, not easy, but we did beat them in 2016 and had the 2015 nail biter loss despite their overwhelmingly better recruiting success.

(*) Before Clemson started recruiting at the top of the heap, we outcoached top teams that had out-recruited us.

So Dabo's bunch can walk and chew gum (i.e., recruit and coach) at the same time.

whose intention is to go to college for a degree and pay for it by playing football. They get good coaching while they are there and most of them are happy to stick around for 4/5 years to get the college experience. We are currently in a bubble where they are able to stick around for 5/6 years.

That means that every few years, they are going to field a team of 23–24-year-old adults who have been working on their skills since they were 18. Those cyclical teams are capable of giving everyone a fit and and they beat most of the teams they face.

Contrast that with Clemson where the average 4th year guy is there because he was a late bloomer, his career got derailed by an injury or he is a solid 3 star guy who could have gone to Wake but just wanted to be a Tiger.

The respective rankings fit the way these two schools have chosen to build their programs.
