I don't think anyone outside the Clemson diehards were surprised by that outcome.

Maybe. I expected Georgia to win, but I didn't think it would be that big of a blowout. Ranked teams should be at least competitive to a certain degree.

I have Clemson diehard friends. They weren't expecting anything here. Certainly not shocking the world.

Dabo is a drain on that program

Come on OSU I need 10 more points with no more allowed.

There's a big gap between the legit top 5 teams and the top 20 type teams. I honestly thought Clemson was probably a little overrated at #14 and UGA probably is legit #1.

An 11 point spread on a betting line between ranked teams is pretty significant.

ODU hanging tough with Little Carolina and Georgia Southern is up on Boise State which would shake up the G5 rankings for the CFP in week one. Boise State is currently favored to be the G5 representative followed by Liberty and Memphis.

I mean, Clemson is the best program in the ACC….and that as this letdown version of Clemson (big picture they are)

so what do you do…realistically? 

You lose Dabo and most likely….you just get worse.   

Clemson had a HISTORIC run with Dabo.  Overshadowed by the fact it was occurring as Saban did his thing. But maintaining that was never realistic.  In reality, when Clemson was competing for nattys on a consistent basis their rosters were never comparable top to bottom with who they competed with. 

Clemson’s bad is still a dream for almost all ACC programs.  I can handle Clemson’s version of bad.  hypothetically the grass is greener….odds favor that if they move from Dabo that it will predictably be a bad decision with much worse results.  

*some great Dabo means going around Twitter right now though

I mean Dabos refusal to utilize the portal is the their biggest problem.

Clemson and FSU both embarrassing themselves opening week but think they belong in the SEC. What a joke.

Last 3 seasons is the Dabo is finished and Clemson is done era.  Fire Dabo era. 

Meanwhile, it’s 3 straight winning seasons. 30-10.  Top 25 finish each of them.  His bad is still the best that is being done in the ACC.

they aren’t competing for a natty each year.  Frankly, that’s like 4 programs in reality year in and year out.  Clemson fans wanting Dabo fired are just emotional and not realistic about college football IMO.  People outside of the fanbase that want him fired? They don’t want Clemson to be good lol.  They aren’t looking out for Clemson.  They want to see bad things happen to someone they dislike lol

Has hell frozen over? ECU is actually winning their game

Texas has used NIL and the portal to buy their way into that conversation.

I have no idea why people keep discussing Clemson. The run is over.

 

Dabo already searching for his next school.

Holy poo the yac on this Miami play lol

[jayboogieman]

Does Bama start falling off a cliff without Saban? I think this year's team will be close to last year's since its still mostly the team Saban put together. After his guys transfer/graduate/go pro, things could get interesting for the Tide
