That was a fucking blast...he always says shit in the postgame that most think he is an idiot for but fuck it, we won
I know he gets criticized a lot and I know he comes off like a dumb Southerner but here are some post-game facts from our Rivals.com board
Dabo Swinney is now 7-3 against teams ranked in the top 10 by at least one of the two major polls entering the game.
Swinney and the Tigers have now defeated eight of the top-20 winningest programs in the history of college football over the last five years. The Tigers have a 10-4 record against the top-20 programs since 2011. Other top-20 programs Clemson has defeated the last five years are Ohio State (No. 4), Oklahoma (No. 5), Florida State (No. 11), Louisiana State (No. 13), Georgia (No. 14), Auburn (No. 17) and Virginia Tech (No. 20). Clemson plays at No. 15 Miami (Fla.) on October 24.
Clemson is now 8-2 with at least 11 days to prepare for a regular-season game under Swinney
Brian Kelly was the eighth winningest active FBS coach by percentage entering tonight’s game. With this win, Swinney has now defeated seven of the top 10 over the last five years. The other top-10 winningest coaches Swinney has beaten since 2011 are Urban Meyer of Ohio State (No. 1), Jimbo Fisher of Florida State (No. 2), Bob Stoops of Oklahoma (No. 3), Mark Richt of Georgia (No. 7), Les Miles of Louisiana State (No. 9) and Steve Spurrier of South Carolina (No. 10).
I think the Les Miles comparison is a good one. I also think Notre Dame is probably better but it doesn't matter. Just like I think Alabama is better than Ole Miss and it didn't matter 2 weeks ago. Notre Dame has no business in the playoff anyway. Clemson doesn't either but hell there's still a chance
