extraordinary gifts.
1. Should we beat Alabama and win the NC, we will have, without a doubt, supplanted the Tide as the current ruling kings of college football. To both beat Bama, the supposed kings, and win a back-to-back NC will “Leave no doubt”. Had we not had the opportunity to play Bama, there would still be doubt from some.
2. Next year we will probably have a weak strength of schedule similar to Alabama’s schedule this year. TA&M is not Auburn, FSU breaking in a new coach, Louisville and NC State trending down. Should it come down to discussion for our inclusion, the precedent the committee just set with admitting Bama based on history and benefit of doubt, paves the way for our fourth CFP appearance.
Clemson will have become the Kings of college football and be prepared for now being the most loved/hated team in America because we will now get the benefit of the doubt.
