Clempsoning.
That is all.
There was a graphic put up during the Clemson game that was up too quick for me to divert my attention from what I was doing but....
In essence it showed that every time Clemson has Clempsoned, the team they lost too ended up finishing the season ranked much higher than their beginning of the season record. The point was that Clemson has a better record against top opponents than any other team in the nation over the last five years. Their "quality losses" really were quality losses because the teams they lost to ended the season by being top ranked teams nationally more times than not, such as FSU, Georgia, Georgia Tech, West Virginia, Auburn.
Whereas their quality wins truly were quality wins over teams with winning seasons at Oklahoma, Georgia, Ohio State, Auburn (twice) Virginia Tech (thrice) LSU, Ga Tech, FSU.
Anyway, the way it was presented (which I may not have accurately recreated here) really put the whole Clemsoning thing in perspective for me. Every good team will lose a game to another good opponent at some point and Clemson is not worse at this than any other good team.
Having said all of that, I hope they Clempson. Big Time. Because it is still a thing.
