If, If! If a bullfrog had wings it would not bust it's behind every time it jumped. I root to win for Clemson whenever they play. No more Kevin Steele and WV scores.

thanks
I want to be 12-1 and make the CFP - bunch of Nancies in here. Mich is one dimensional rushing can barely pass
1 loss mich is a problem, 1 loss Tenn is a problem

Re: Aim low? So “maybe” winning the Orange Bowl over Alabama

Making the CFP is aiming high.
Being scared to play good teams is not just aiming low, but cowardice.
Fans may not understand that, but competitive athletes do.

Understood, but he didn’t ask which you would rather

Play and he said we would 100% lose in the CFP. That is very different from being scared to play good teams.

If we are going to get crushed, I would rather it be in the "final four" than a bowl game. It's not like Alabama would be a cakewalk in the Orange Bowl and certainly not a guaranteed win so we might as well get as far as we can.

You would rather get blown out in the first round for a 2nd

consecutive trip than win a NY6 bowl over a quality opponent? Why? How does that help us or our brand?

Even if we got blown out in the playoff the hype that follows will be that Clemson has been in the playoffs for 7 of the last 8 years. Recruits like that I think. After some time passes, they tend to only remember that you were there more than they remember the score.

Seven CFP appearances and two titles helps anyone’s brand a good deal more than being unwilling to play the best teams. How many schools would like to be in our shoes? I think a vast majority.

I’d rather lose a CFP game by 50

than beat Bama in the OB. Just sayin’.
Kinda like winning the NIT or go to the NCAA Tourney and lose in round 1. I’d take the latter.

The best for the team is what we should wish for...
