Before the ACC Championship, many hated Clemson football. After the ACC Championship game, many hated Clemson football. Before the Orange Bowl, many hated Clemson football, and after the Orange Bowl many are hating Clemson football.
This entire season, we have had to hear the “haters” complain about how Clemson football is “overrated” or “if they were in the SEC, they would not be undefeated.”
Many wins Clemson has had this season have been discounted by the national media. For example, after the Notre Dame win, the media said that Notre Dame “dominated” the fourth quarter and that Clemson was just able to hang on.
