There is no questioning Clemson had an easy go of things this season.
The Tigers have won their 13 games by an average margin of 32 points per game, an ACC record. They have won by 20 or more points in 11 of their 13 victories, including wins of 61 points against Louisville, 60 against Wake Forest, 49 over Florida State, 34 over NC State and 32 over Pittsburgh in the ACC Championship Game.
On the other side of things, Clemson’s opponent in the 83rd Cotton Bowl Classic on Dec. 29 had things a little tougher and arguably has played better competition.
