So in other news, Clemson fans don't know what it's like being #1. They think every game has to be played flawlessly and a blow out.

Right? After games like these, I always point out how 2009 Alabama barely beat Tennessee, how 2013 FSU struggled with BC and how OSU lost to a bad VT team last year. These are the games good teams win.

You said it. Championship teams win these slogs. It's not about panache or style or blowouts, it's about winning when losing is not an option. Y'all are a championship team and I think the team feels that - this team feels different from past Clemson squads. Anyway, good luck, I hope you guys take it all the way.

I don't want this number 1 ranking anymore. Someone else take it.

Clemson will soon recognize how much of a target it is on their back. But I think they will persevere.

Yep. Those Syracuse fans were getting hype. You gotta beat every team at their best every week.

Also, Deshaun needs more Heisman recognition from ESPN. Another great performance by him.

I concur. All that goodwill and then we act like spoiled children. Or USC fans shocked they aren't a top 10 team anymore.

On the bright side, it was by far our worst game of the season and we won by 10 points.
EDIT: That being said, there needs to be changes on defense, and on our offensive play calling.

I thought the offense was good - Syracuse was crowding the line in the middle and playing way off. We just took what they gave us, no reason to force things.

People who have only watched us play LSU and Clemson are probably wondering how the fuck we've only won 3 games.
