Duke -7.5 over Cuse…..

I'm worried that narrative might be accurate. Transitive properties being what they are, Clemson hasn't beaten anybody, and some of the teams they lost to are questionable.

LSU beat Clemson, two tomato cans and 1-3 Florida.
Georgia Tech beat Clemson, 2-2 Colorado and two tomato cans.

Syracuse beat UConn and Colgate.

So, Clemson has a 1-3 record against teams whose victories against teams not named Clemson are 8-1, but with only two legit victories LSU vs. Florida and Georgia Tech @ Colorado.

And you know what? I'm not sure I'm fully willing to count Florida and Colorado as quality wins. They have lost to everybody but their own tomato cans.

Clemson might just be terrible and we're not sure yet if we really did something impressive by beating them... They might just be this year's version of Florida State.
Ok now do Duke:) and don’t forget an assessment of their defense.

Personally I can’t get over that Tulane QB running for 4 TDs on them.

Our bad loss to Tenn in hostile territory just does not feel as bad especially when they had Georgia beat 3 times before choking it away in OT. Dukes similar scenario saw them lose to Illinois at their place by the same margin except that same Illinois team turned out to be hot garbage getting 60 dropped on them by Indiana.

Duke is 2-2 and only beat NC State because Bailey forgot which team to throw to ... 3 times. NC State looked wretched against Wake Forest who beat Kennesaw State by a single point. I don't get the Duke love affair ... didn't think much of them last year when they had a Charmin soft schedule and watched Ole Miss run a train on them in a bowl game.

This way of describing a football game is quite unpleasant.
