[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 3116475, member: 72863"] I do get that to a degree. But in the case of Clemson, they started reeling in great classes once Dabo got settled in there.....much better than Washington or Michigan State have ever done. Clemson wasn't playing with short decks during their run of CFP appearances. And while they aren't a true blue blood like some others, they do have a solid football history, not to mention a huge stadium that they regularly fill or come close to filling. In some ways (not the stadium and attendance) they are like Miami of the 80's and early 90's. I'd say in the CFP era, the real "outsiders" have been Washington, Michigan State, and Cincinnati.......as in teams that made it but didn't really do it with what you'd call elite talent throughout the roster. They made it the way Brewingfrog described...some good, experienced talent, good coaching, luck on the injury front, favorable schedule, yada yada yada. And none of the three were really even competitive in the CFP games when both teams are pretty clearly evenly motivated, or at least you'd assume so. 89-13 scoring margin. I know, small sample size. But I'm not sure that changes all that much tbh. [/QUOTE]
