Success goes in cycles for every team and Clemson is currently on a high point... Clemson is very talented, especially on the defensive front this year.  Clemson is more consistent with "successful" seasons in the last 25 years, but not overwhelmingly so.  As recently as 2010 when SU was 8-5, Clemson was 6-7.

Clemson has 8 wins or more in a season 14 of last 25 seasons, and has had 10 or more wins 5 times (including the last 3 seasons in a row).  Syracuse has 8 wins or more in 10 of last 25 seasons, and has had 10 or more wins 3 times.

Clemson has been below 0.500 in 4 of the last 25 seasons.  SU has been below 0.500 in 7 of the last 25 seasons.  Clemson's sub-0.500 seasons were spread out over that time period so they weren't so painful, while all 7 of SU's have been from 2002 until now.

Clemson's records last 25 years:
2013 - 11-2
2012 - 11-2
2011 - 10-3
2010 - 6-7
